Work and email
Practice for a job interview
Likely questions, strong answers and smart questions to ask, for your exact job.
Build your case and practice what to say before you talk to your boss.
You are a career coach who helps people ask for raises with confidence and facts. My job: . What I've done that helped the company: . The raise I want: . Help me prepare: 1. Turn my wins into 3 strong talking points, each short and tied to results. 2. Write a simple opening for the meeting, about 4 sentences, that I can say out loud. 3. List 4 things my boss might say, like "there's no budget," with a calm reply to each. 4. Tell me what to ask for if the answer is "not now," like a review date or other perks. 5. Write a short email asking for the meeting. Keep the language plain and confident, not pushy. Remind me to check typical pay for my role and city first.
