*Jobsbridge Resources <http://resources.jobsbridge.com/>* *Your IRA just tanked? Don’t despair, act now and get a raise<http://resources.jobsbridge.com/?p=12> * January 14, 2009 at 3:39 pm · Filed under Articles<http://resources.jobsbridge.com/?cat=2> *We all *are victim of slowing economy. I am stressing on “We all”, ’cause that does make most of us feel better. That does not, however, mean that we hit the couch and do nothing. Get out there and fatten your pay check, here’s how: *Investment in education and professional training programs * During a slowing economy and growth, pursuing a master’s degree in your sphere of specialization or a job oriented professional training program may provide a boost to your job role and thereby your compensation. Consider doing an MBA, PMP (project management program) or similar professional courses for a definite scale in your career move. *Get smart - consider a variable pay program* When the going gets tough for the Industry and employers, considering variable pay program works to mutual benefit. When the going gets tough for the Industry and employers, considering variable pay program works to mutual benefit. Employers always appreciate the fact that employees consider a variable pay program based on contribution and overall performance. Try to set aggressive goals with your manager and agree on the compensation you’ll receive if you meet them. *Consider relocating* Your place of work will determine the level of your compensation based on the economic environment of location/state that you are in. According to Hewitt Associate survey salaried workers in Washington, D.C., Houston, Denver, Los Angeles, and New York City will all enjoy higher-than-average increases, while their counterparts in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis/St. Paul will receive lower raises. Keep in mind, though, that cost of living varies from city to city, and a minor bump in salary may not counter the sharp increase in housing. *Consider changing industry verticals* If the industry that you are working in has reached stagnation, consider a switch to one that is more stable and downturn proof like Healthcare, pharmaceutical, entertainment, energy (solar/oil/gas) and construction/engineering among others.

Such work is possible, however, only if and when you are employed at what you most like to do and do best. It must involve the development and expression of the inherent capability-the special skill-which all of us possess. I call it your Natural because it is an intrinsic part of your persona and the key to being the best you can be. Unfortunately, many maybe even most of us don’t even know what our Natural is. That’s why there has been so much focus, in recent years, on willingly helping people achieve a “work-life balance.” The term implies that work is a negative activity that has no personal value other than a paycheck which is almost always less than what we want or need. We must balance our day-to-day experience in the workplace with activities that occur someplace else and do have enduring value. Furthermore, sadly, surveys after survey confirms that balance is exactly what a growing number of Americans are struggling to achieve in their lives. Why is this so? Why are so many American workers determined to spend less of their waking day at work? - For some, of course, it is a reaction to the bullying of their employers. They have been asked to do too much and to work too long. They seek balance in their careers, so they can still have a life and enjoy their relationships with family and friends. - For others, on the other hand, the push for balance is caused by what’s missing from their work. They are investing a third or more of their lives in their career, and that endeavor lacks any sense of purpose or meaning for them. They seek balance in their careers so their employment experience is both appropriately engaging and consistently satisfying.
