In this episode, we discuss whether and how you should ask for a pay raise after earning your GED. Holding a GED can significantly bolster your case for a pay raise, and we focus on how GED graduates can confidently approach their employers with a well-prepared and persuasive argument for deserving higher compensation.

Most senior managers value retaining staff as a top concern, making a well-timed request for a raise more likely to succeed.

We also talk about how you can research average salaries for similar roles with a GED in your geographic area and how to document your accomplishments with specific examples and highlight their positive impact on the company, such as time or cost savings.
