The idea is that you want to anchor your boss to a high (but reasonable) number and have them negotiate down from there. For example, if you make $10/hr and ask for a raise to $11, you may end up at a negotiated rate of $10.50. However, if you ask for a raise to $20 (with some justification), your boss might think you're crazy, but you could end up with a negotiated rate of $15.Ajit in Houston, TXFri, 09 May 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.daytipper.com/Tip/36650/How_to_create_a_mobile_workspace.aspxHave you ever gone to a temp/contract job where no one was ready for you? Carry a few business basics and wow even the toughest client with your ability to get right to work. Basics include pens, Post-its, writing pad, highlighter, a few paperclips, micro stapler with extra staples, small tape dispenser, etc. Add a few personal essentials so you’re comfortable. Include an extra timecard as well, a stamp so you can mail one, & a thank you card to successfully close the assignment.L.J. in Seattle, WATue, 06 May 2008 00:00:00 GMThttp://www.daytipper.com/Tip/36685/How_to_stay_at_home_and_make_money_from_cooking.aspxI am a firm believer in cooking good healthy meals at home. This has led me to a business. I now cook meals for friends. I am also aware of labels and what things are in the products I buy so not only are my friends getting a home cooked meal that is healthy, but I am getting paid for what I would do at home anyway.amy in edmond, okMon, 05 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT
