近年來物价上涨,但薪资依然不见起色。有时候可能是经济因素的影响。如果你待的公司正快速发展中,而你身边的同事也都加薪了。这时候,你就该想一想,为什么你沒有获得加薪的机会?
John Boitnott,在《Entrepreneur》中提出15个让你涨薪的方法,让你不断前进。
1.Arrive early
提早到办公室上班
If you’re an employee who shows up late every day, you may never get a raise. A study from the American Psychological Association found that early arrivers were perceived as more conscientious.
如果你是一个每天都迟到的员工,加薪、升迁也许不会轮到你。美国心理学会研究发现,提早到的员工会让Boss印象深刻,认为他們比较负责任、工作勤奋。此外,你还可以提早准备工作,做事更有效率。
2.Have grace under pressure
勇于面对压力
When the pressure’s on, how do you react? Supervisors tend to favor employees who can handle daily stresses without losing their cool.
许多成功人士,他們面临困境的时候,始终态度温和而不会迁怒他人。训练自己,面对压力时也要冷静面对。上司通常比较喜欢那些能沉着应对工作压力的员工。当你升迁或执行更重要的任务时,你会发现,保持这样的心态,不但能把事情处理得更好,也能让你和身边共事的人相处得更好。
3.Maintain a positive attitude
培养积极的心态
With all other factors aside, employers favor workers who come to work each day with a positive and enthusiastic attitude, especially when compared to those who complain.
对于爱抱怨的员工,Boss 比较喜欢那些有热情,态度比较积极的员工。所以,收起你对公司的抱怨,尝试当个快乐积极的人,不仅能够影响身边的人,让他們乐于和你工作,自己也会从中获得前进的动力。
4.Avoid gossip
不要说闲话
It can be tempting to join your coworkers at the water cooler, but the boss pays attention to such things. Participating in gossip can give off the perceptionthat you’re unprofessional.
茶水间是员工最佳的休闲和聊天的地方。虽然一起闲聊可以增加同事之间的感情。Boss很介意这样的人,认为你是一个喜欢滋生是非、不专心工作的人。
5.Be productive
有效率地工作
Your daily work output can make a big difference if your supervisor is considering handing out raises. Find a way to focus throughout the day and get your work done ahead of deadline consistently.
做事有效率、工作表现好,让自己在工作的时候保持专注,提前完成你的任务。Boss会觉得你是做事有效率、有能力的,还会考虑帮你涨工资。
6.Participate
参与感
Be active, whether you’re part of a brainstorming session or networking at the annual Christmas party. If management sees you as a vital part of the team, you could be first in line for a salary increase.
积极参与各种活动。不论是为某个计划集思广益,还是节庆聚会,都要乐于参与。如此一来,管理层的人会视你为团队中重要的一员,默默地將你放在加薪的名单之中。
7. Fix problems
解决问题的能力
Problem solvers are vital members of any team, so try to be the go-to person whenever your boss needs a solution.
解决问题的能力在职场中是不可或缺的一部分。每当Boss有问题需的时候,试着让自己成为提供解决方案的那个人。
8. Add value
提高自己的身价
If you want to add money to your paycheck, add to the value you’re bringing to your employer. Get certified or learn a new skill, then provide your employer an updated resume.
如果你想升职、加薪,就得不断提升你的价值。考取相关的证照、学习新的技能,让自己的履历变得好看,还可以帮你的Boss提供更多的帮助。
9. Be a team player
团队精神
Just how much do you help coworkers when they are experiencing trouble? As important as it is to stand out, it’s also important that your leaders see you as a team player.
当你的同事遇到困难时,你能夠帮他们多少忙?你帮了他们,或许日后他也会以不同方式报答你。很重要的一点,让Boss知道你是个有团队精神的人。
10. Keep your boss updated
让Boss觉察你的努力
You can be the hardest worker in the company and it won’t mean anything if your boss doesn’t realize it. Make it a habit to send regular status updates, especially if you’re working on an important long-term project.
你在公司里做的死去活来,忙里忙外。如果Boss沒看见,也不会让你得到更多的升职机会。主动出击,让Boss知道你负责的数据、报告。如果你是负责長期的项目,這更是一个机会让Boss觉察你认真负责。
11.Get along with others
同事关系融洽
In addition to helping out your team members, avoid altercations at all costs. Even if you’re in the right, it’s just not worth it. Your boss will perceive you as a troublemaker if you can’t get along with others.
除了尽你所能帮助身边的同事,也要注意不要引起非必要的争执。即便你是对的,也不要太咄咄逼人,让別人输了了面子。(老美也是注重面子的)毕竟在同一个公司里,Boss最不喜欢惹是生非,总是与別人发生争执的员工。
12. Dress professionally
穿正装
In a 2013 surveyconducted by OfficeTeam, 80 percent of executives said clothing choices affect an employee’s chances of a promotion. Look clean, pressed, and well-dressed at all times.
除非你有別人比不上的天赋,否则,上班还是穿正装吧!注意,请不要随意搭配。根据2013年度的一份调查指出,约有80%的主管认为穿着会严重影响一个人的升职机会。看来穿着干净、整洁,得当是非常重要的,让Boss知道你是一个重视形象的人。
13. Apply for promotions
善于把握机会
One of the best ways to get a raise is to move into a new position. Keep an eye out for promotional opportunities and apply when you qualify.
加薪的最好办法就是申请升迁,在一個新的岗位继续努力。密切注意公司内部的升迁机会,提升自己能力,当机会来临时,会有意想不到的好收获。
14. Ask
开口问就对了
If finances are strong at your company, don’t hesitate to ask. Mention your value to the company and provide strong reasons why you deserve one.
如果你公司的财力足够好。別犹豫,直接问就对了。问的同时,强调自己为公司作出的特別贡献,让高层同意帮你涨薪。
15. Know when to leave
知道何时该离开
Sometimes, despite your best efforts, you’ve simply reached the end of the road with your current employer. If it’s clear you’re in a dead-end job, start looking for a better opportunity elsewhere.
有時候工作太久,你会渐渐地知晓自己是否有加薪的机会。如果你已充实自己欠缺的能力,确认可以找到薪资更高,更适合自己的工作机会。或许,是时候离开原来的岗位,转换跑道了。
这些方法不一定让你在短时间內得到升职、加薪,但只要你持续地执行,公司会慢慢发现你的价值。升职、加薪的机就会离你不远了......
