Can I use this info when asking for a raise?

We Answered:

No. You absolutely should not use the information you had access to while working in the HR department; you could be disciplined for it. That information should be treated as highly confidential, even though you boss has access to it. I suspect it would harm your request for a raise as your boss may see your use of the information as a flaw in your ethics - we all know how important confidentiality is for people in administrative positions.

Instead, focus on your attributes. Illustrate what you do and how well you do it, then compare your work with the other Snr Administrators (without demeaning them). How can they refuse your request for a raise after you have shown them that the value of your work is equal to that of the other Administrators?

Do your homework and spend time preparing your case. Take a look at this article http://www.personal-assistant-tips.com/Performance_Appraisal.html, which should give you some pointers to help you improve your case.

Good luck!

How do you get a job matching stock photos to companies?

We Answered:

Sounds like you are talking about a photo editor or art director for an ad agency or maybe for an in-house art dept. at large company.
