The challenge is the same - demonstrate added value for the organization. That's exactly what you're driving at. In a page from my website, I offer the following suggestions for people who want to make more money, but they also apply just as well to holding onto your job. It all boils down to being one of the key performers that contributes to company interests. * do more work * do more difficult work * take on more responsibilities * take more risks * give extra effort * have added value to the organization * stay longer in your position * achieve organizational goals In a perfect world, these suggestions would work just fine, but we all know that we're dealing with humans, so things like politics can derail even the best of employees. That's where having your own business is key to success. Clair Some folks wonder how to hold onto their jobs, and many would like to make more money at their current job.
