The Biggest Tenant Screening Mistake And What It Will Cost You<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nI once approached my employer asking for a 15% increase in my salary. Despite the fact that it was not an appropriate time to discuss such matters, my employer came back to me with an offer of a 10% raise and an opening for further discussion during summer.<\/p>\n
But this was not all. I asked my employer for another meeting, hoping to explain to them why the work I did was worth a 15% increase. Surprisingly, they agreed to the meeting, despite already agreeing to raise my salary by 10%. According to them, the reason they agreed to grant me the meeting was to give me a feedback.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, they explained to me how much they appreciated my effort and it was their hope I didn’t nurse any feeling that I was undervalued. I was told the issue of my compensation will be up for further discussion when the window for negotiation opens again.<\/p>\n
Although I didn’t get the 15% raised I had hoped for, I gained two things from this experience. Firstly, I felt acknowledged, and secondly, I felt valued. I went on to inquire what I could do to ensure that expectations are met and I am eligible for a salary increase.<\/p>\n
2. You will never make and\/or save $10 if you don’t ask:<\/span><\/h2>\nAlthough it is important to make an attempt such as the one explained above for a salary increase, but caution must be exercised when doing such. You must be certain that your proposal for an increased pay will not be met by hostility from your employer. They are several cases where this has happened. However, if you are sure there would be no form of hostility arising from your request, then you should go ahead and ask. You can never tell.<\/p>\n\n
