Far too often women are overlooked for raises simply because they aren’t asking for them. On the other hand, Carol Evans, President of Working Mother Media, says, “Those men are in there and they are asking for raises all of the time.” If you are waiting around to be noticed for your accomplishments and hoping the raise will come to you, you will be passed over time and time again. To get that all important raise you will most likely have to get in front of your boss and ask for one.
