实战经验介绍:

“金九银十跳槽月”，在老板最担心人才流失的时候，向他提出加薪，不失为一招。但专家提醒，要说服老板，不仅需要你底气十足，还要掌握一定技巧。

Mr. Smith, I would like to discuss something with you.（史密斯先生，我想和商量些事情.）

在与上司谈论加薪问题时，你肯定希望老板能心平气和地听取你要加薪的理由，因此你必须注意自己的口气与口吻，那么反过来，当他陈述他的理由时，你也要心平气和地倾听，然后再寻找突破口，协调一致。切记不要一时心急，就采用下通牒、恐吓或别的强迫方式令对方就范，这样只会适得其反。

I'm pleased that you've added new responsibilities to my job and I appreciate the opportunity.（我非常高兴你给我新的工作职责，谢谢你给我这样的机会。）
