"I am reasonably happy with my current employer, I just need more money!"

How can Jobgate help you with this?

It is generally regarded that part of the process of negotiating for a better salary is to do your homework.

Experts advising people on salary negotiations say things like:

"...If you have information that indicates other employers pay more for similar work, you might mention that to your manager..."

"...do research into the going market rate for your expertise..."

"...Research the going rate. It’s always a good idea to investigate what others in your area and with your qualifications are being paid before approaching your supervisor for a raise..."

"...Before asking for a raise, it is critical to know your value.  The best way to know what you are worth is to research the current job market.."

Let Jobgate do this research homework for you.  Once you have told us what type of job you are interested in i.e. the type of job you currently do, we will do the rest.

Each week we will send you details of any similar jobs we have found to the one you currently do. This can be nationwide or locally in you town. If the job offers more money than you receive, print out the job details and keep them until you are ready to negotiate.

Make your boss compete for you.  Nothing enhances your negotiating position like another job offer or expression of interest.  So, even if you intend to stay put; put feelers out and find out how salaries have changed since you started working for your current employer.
