أفضل الممارسات البيئية 147 – كيف تطلب زيادة الراتب (1)
This is the first of a two-part Business English Pod series on how to ask for a pay raise.
Asking for a pay raise makes many people uncomfortable, but it’s most definitely to our benefit to make the effort.
Getting a raise is more than just asking, though. Before the discussion can start, you need to prepare. Make a list of your achievements and quantify them with numbers and examples, if you can. It’s also helpful to get an idea of how your compensation compares to industry averages. You can easily find this information online or at the library. Remember that there can be more to compensation than salary, like health insurance, retirement plans, and stock options.
اليوم, we’ll listen as Ryan, a salesman at an industrial supply company called Pylon, discusses his salary with Jacob, his boss. Ryan would like a pay raise, but first, he needs to show Jacob why he deserves one. Notice how Ryan has thoroughly prepared for this meeting and is able to provide specific examples to support his case.
