Raise Rules for Women Helps Women Make More Money at Work September 2, 2008—Glendale, Arizona—Raise Rules for Women, the latest book from Laura C. Browne and Jill L. Ferg

Glendale, AZ, September 04, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Raise Rules for Women, the latest book from Laura C. Browne and Jill L. Ferguson, provides seven easy-to-follow rules to help women get salary increases at work. This self-help guide’s premise is that everyone wants to make more money and that most people even deserve more money. The authors said that women often take on work that falls outside of their job description parameters with no additional monetary compensation, they expect their bosses to realize this and then they expect to be rewarded for their good work. But that isn’t the way the business world works.

Browne said, “People have to be pro-active in their careers and to clearly ask for what they want. This includes when they want and deserve more money. Managers are not mind readers. Sometimes the only reason we don’t get a raise is that we haven’t asked for one.”

In addition to the seven rules that instruct you, the reader, as to how to get more money, Raise Rules for Women, asks you pertinent questions about your own career. And each chapter ends with “Actions” to be undertaken so you can walk the path to more money. Though the book was written for people who are employed, most of the Raise Rules can be applied in negotiating salaries for new jobs.
