Ask for a raise我要加薪

One of the most intimidating（adj.令人害怕的） things to do in the business world is to ask for a raise at your current job. If you are stuck in the grind（n.苦差） of your current job, then you know exactly what I am talking about. Something, the boss just does not pay you enough money. So you are worth more? What do you do about it? There is a way to request a raise, but you better be careful when doing that.

加薪往往是职场中最令人头疼的事情，你总是从事苦差，老板不给加钱，而你的价值不仅仅值那点钱。怎么办，您可以按下面说的做，不过要谨慎哦！

If you company has worked on some profitable accounts, then figure out what part you played in those. What ways have you directly helped to increase business? Figure these things out and make a list of them. Have that list ready to present when you ask for a raise. Some businesses, especially those in advertising and marketing, are numbers driven businesses. You’ll want to give an idea of how many different accounts you have had an impact on and how that success drives your company’s Bottom line（n.损益表底线）.

如果你的公司有了一些可以盈利的账户，你可以想想，你是否在这里扮演什么角色。你是通过什么方法增加业绩的？想想这些，并把它们列出来，以便于以后您要求加薪。一些行业是数字驱动的行业，以广告和营销为典型，你要想想有多少账户是和你有关，或者说，你是如何成功的给你公司带来利润的。

One mistake that people always seem to make is that they are never sure exactly how much money to ask for. If you are going to ask for a raise, then you should have some figure in mind of how much more you want. If you are successful in meeting with your boss and making your case, then if will look awful if you sit there with a blank（adj.没有表情的,茫然的） stare as he asks you how much you want. Consider a realistic percentage, but be willing to negotiate, if necessary.

一个常见的问题是人们不确定他们应该要多少钱。如果你想加薪，你应该知道，你最多想要多少。人们在见老板时，要么目光呆滞，要么侃侃而谈，使自己想做的事情非常成功。考虑一个实际的百分比，但是需要的话愿意协商。

Try to avoid bringing your personal needs into the debate about a raise. Though it is certainly important that you are having another child, you boss probably does not care. Do not request a raise based solely upon these types of things. Instead, concentrate

solely on your achievements, merits, and worth concerning the company. By doing this, you will create a professional environment in which you will establish some leverage.（n.优势、力量）

在要求加薪的时候避免太多的个人要求。你有一件很重要的事--想再生个宝宝，但是你的老板并不在意。所以不要把加薪建立在这种事情上。而是应该关心一下你的业绩，有点，和对公司的价值。这么做就可以创造一个你可以获得优势的专业的氛围。
