These days, as food and gas prices reach all-time highs, you're not alone in wanting to approach your boss about a raise. However, considering the current state of the economy, you're also not alone in wondering if this is really the best time to bring up what could be a touchy subject.
Still, if you feel like the work you do is worth more than what you see on your paycheck, there are some other things you can request to help make your away-from-work life more comfortable in other ways. If your boss balks at your request for a salary increase, you may consider asking for some alternative benefits, such as:
A More Flexible Schedule
Many companies these days have been moving in this direction, and even some state and city governments are allowing their employees to work four 10-hour days with a three-day weekend. If you have children, or if you just value your down time, working a condensed week or telecommuting is a great way to improve your comfort and work-life balance -- an excellent alternative to an increased income.
Wellness Benefits
While many large companies these days have an onsite gym, even smaller companies and start-ups can benefit from encouraging employees to make healthy lifestyle choices. Well-exercised employees are more focused at work and able to achieve higher... View Full |

Before sitting down to write a resume or considering a resume writing service, there are many distinct formats to consider first. The main resume formats consist of the targeted, inventory, chronological, functional and combination formats. By understanding the advantages and disadvantages of each individual format, making the decision on which format to use in each job interview prospect will be even easier. The following guidelines should be considered while prospective employees make this choice.
Focus the Resume Based on Format
The first format is known as the targeted resume. Job seekers may want to consider writing a targeted resume in the following instances:
They know the title of the position they are interested in and have a good idea of the qualifications that will be required for entry into this position.
They are sending their resume in response to an employment advertisement.
They are writing or revising their resume to apply to a specific company.
They have several different specific career objectives and want a different resume for each one.
Secondly, there's the inventory resume. With the inventory resume, there must be at least one general objective, for example, "a management level position in sales." In this case, job seekers... View Full |

Job seekers have had the same list of critical skills to brush up on or acquire for decades -- things like careful follow-up, attention to grammar and punctuation, and great listening abilities. But today's overcrowded job market and the ever-shrinking attention spans of hiring managers are creating brand-new job search requirements.
Here are five new must-have skills for job seekers today:
Pain Spotting
It used to be that you could apply to a job and parrot the requirements listed in the job ad. But simply saying, "You want organizational and communication skills? I've got 'em!" won't cut it anymore. Every job seeker says the exact same thing in his cover letter. These days, you've got to do more. You've got to figure out -- by reading the job ad and researching the employer -- what sort of business pain lurks behind the job opening.
What are your choices? There's growth-related pain, and there's consolidation-related pain. There's pain associated with customers fleeing, with competitors outsourcing the work and cutting costs, and with a shortage of talent in an industry. When you know or can guess at the pain behind the job ad, you have something of substance to say to a hiring manager. Until then, you're just another banana in a very crowded bunch.
