Raise?
How do you ask for a raise? I know that in this economy and these times I should be happy that I have a job, but I just found out that the administrative assistant makes a significant amount more than I do. Her work load, ethic, timing, etc. do not, in my mind, mesh with what she is making.
A little background… I am a contract employee (as is the admin. Assistant) who is 100% on-site at the client's office. I started last May and love my job as editorial coordinator. This is the first of the three public relations jobs I've had in the past 3 years (long story, one only lasted four months) that I actually enjoy. All of my reviews have been excellent and I have great relationships with the three "supervisors" that are on-site. I've taken on a lot of additional responsibility and created/implemented some time saving programs since I started.
As my year review is coming up, I feel that my performance, dedication, enthusiasm, and results speak for themselves and that I am definitely deserving of a raise. Any ideas on how to broach the subject? I've never done it before…
