Executive recruiter Russ Hovendick lays out a clear, winning strategy for asking for a raise in today's high-octane work environment. Oftentimes, I've seen miscommunication exist between employers and employees--through no fault of their own. But one side can't interpret the other. Russ addresses this in his chapter, "Your Employer: The Consumer." He helps put you in the shoes of the employers, helps you understand how to interpret messages, and what to do to position yourself for getting the raise. I encourage professionals--at any level--to find out what this book can offer you."
