Whether you are able to speak about money

Whether you are able to speak about money

Money - scrupulous enough theme of conversation as in private life, and business. But if in a usual life we can at desire avoid this theme discussion of financial questions on work to avoid will not be possible. The American, for example, never begins to be silent, if to it in time have not paid wages; not having studied the contract, will not dare to get a job; will disagree to work free of charge in the day off. Its this time, and time costs money.

As it is necessary to speak about money …

With the employer

Many never simply ask about salary increase, about advancement on a career ladder or about the best working conditions. Instead they agree with readiness that will offer them. They are afraid, that the employer will have an opinion on them, as about mercantile соискательницах which work but only the salary interests not. According to statistics, at employment of 57 % of men and only 7 % of women achieve higher salary, than to them has been originally offered. Besides, refusal of requirements большей salaries psychologically reduces your value as the worker. To the chief starts to seem, that you insufficiently квалифицированны or неуверенны in the forces. Be not afraid to ask the high salary if are assured of the forces.

To work at half price it is silly, but is even sillier - not to receive a place because of too high claims. Your desires should correspond to real possibilities of a labour market. First, attentively study offers of employers on your speciality. Be set by questions: «What disorder of wages? To whom pay more? What characteristics do you by more valuable expert and what, on the contrary, reduce your cost on a labour market? Whether you can apply for a maximum?» Secondly, learn, your colleagues apply for what salary. From the miniresume of competitors you can understand, how candidates with your experience and abilities estimate themselves.

The main thing corrected interviews at employment - with a question on the salary it is not necessary to hasten. At first it is necessary to discuss your last operational experience with the employer, to outline a circle of the future duties and prospect of career growth. It is necessary to take an interest in the salary in last turn. In this case at the employer the impression will be made, that the competitor is rather interested in work, and material compensation for it is important, but is not priority. Thus it is not necessary to expose requirements about the salary, as they say, «in a forehead». Where more pertinently to tell: «it seems To me, that for such work really to receive $600, but this question, probably, is better for discussing after acceptance of my nominee».

With your boss

The most quivering financial question which to the majority of workers should be solved with the boss, is, of course, salary increase. As all well-known, salary increase almost never is a consequence of good work. Sometimes about it it is necessary to ask, and the most good moment for this purpose – if your salary did not raise for a long time already (at least, year) or if recently you have received a praise from the chief. However it is necessary to ask increases in the salary incorrectly, and your chances of success considerably decrease. As an example it is possible to recollect the ill-fated protagonist of a film «the Office novel» it was not possible to them to become the chief of department in any way. So, asking about salary increase, avoid following arguments:

• «Ivanov the salary works for it same less me, and!» Comparison of seldom happens to other workers useful, happens on the contrary is more often. The circle of duties of two colleagues can not coincide in many respects, and the chief will necessarily specify to you in it. To list own merits much more effectively, is better the most recent which are still fresh in memory of the heads.

• «If to me will not raise the salary, I will leave!» Never put to the boss ultimatums. Usually your fast dismissal happens the answer to such request. Instead it is more useful to offer the chief a theme for reflexion: «My salary did not raise already whole year. Why so occurs?»

• «money is very necessary To me!» Your financial condition is your problem, and in any way the boss. Instead of telling tearful history, ask, that you need to make to earn more.

With your colleagues

Here you are equal. Nevertheless, remember: colleagues – yet friends. Certainly, you can have friends from among your colleagues or even the heads, but on a workplace it is necessary to forget about friendship and to behave extremely correctly and officially. Especially cautiously and officially it is necessary to position itself at the decision of any financial questions. It is better not to introduce personal financial mutual relations in business relations. Do not borrow and do not borrow money at colleagues, especially big sums. Also tell about itself less. When someone from colleagues asks you about you have received what award, your husband or where you took money for a new fur coat, of course, you how many earns can lay out fairly about itself everything, but be not surprised, if all office soon gossips about your financial position and especially about, whether there correspond your incomes to level of your work.
