Who wants to get a raise at work? You do.
If you're like most women, though, you'll delay asking for a raise because it seems so difficult.
Instead you'll hint and suggest while hoping that your boss will offer you the raise you want. Unfortunately hinting and suggesting are not useful strategies at work. This book offers you 7 easy-to-follow Raise Rules that you can use to get the salary increase you deserve. The authors examine the pitfalls and mistakes women can make when seeking raises.
So, if you have ever wished for more recognition, more kudos and more cash, this book is for you.
Jessica Vandermeyer is a too-tall, underdeveloped teen.
She has a father she's never met, a stepfather who killed himself and a Spandex-wearing, oversexed mother whose new ex-Special Forces boyfriend, Jim, moved them from Wisconsin to Los Angeles. Over the course of one summer, Jess finds love but she also has nightmares of snakes, battered doves, and hairy hands that look like Jim's.
She throws herself into creating art, morphing with her paintings in her struggle to survive in her often-chaotic, confusing world.
