How To Ask For And Get The Career You Want By Carrie Gallant

Here are the 3 secret to asking for and getting what you want:

1. Know what you want and why you want it
2. Know your value and know you are worth it
3. Know what they value – Is what you’re asking for match up with what they want? Build a bridge to connect the values of both sides.

Why does this gender pay gap exist?

• While 51% of men negotiate pay in a job offer, women are 4 times less likely than men to negotiate, meaning only 1 in 8 women will negotiate their worth.
• Studies show, those who negotiate get an average of an additional $5,000 in their salary.
  • If the original salary offered was $50,000, that’s a 10% increase. Over 40 years, with regular 5% increase every year, the person who negotiated will have earned an additional $634,000!
  • For bigger salary points, the difference is even more astounding. Say the starting point was $100k and it was negotiated up 10% to $110k, in 40 years, they will have over one million dollars more! One year, would be an additional $6k and in 5 years, an additional $27k.
• When asked what aspects of their job is the most important, women place money in their top 5 choices. For men, money is their top first or second choice.
• Women are more nervous and feel anxious
