Life Lessons in How Patricia Put Herself and Her Career First to Secure a $27K Salary Increase
I was very excited to have Patricia join the Mentor Me Accelerator program. She had years of experience in education, her degrees and credentials, and an amazing attitude. What drew her to work with me was she had found herself at a place in her career where she was struggling to position herself as an expert and get her employer to recognize it. Because she brought the same passion and commitment to mentorship that made her successful at work, she was able to use her new strategies to earn a $27,000 salary increase and bonus.
“Before I joined this marvelous program, I was at a point of frustration because I had been in my career nearly a decade, watching positions fly past me. Not getting tapped for positions or paid for the work that they knew that I could do made me think I would just do double work and they would finally see me. That’s when I had to pause and think of myself as a mom and a wife, wanting to do more with my family. I was feeling trapped because I had to work more hours to get more money without getting the recognition of the title or professional development to get to that next level. Then I learned to articulate my skills, making my resume language more impactful. Once Ashley gave me an example, using a couple of my responsibilities and building them up, this became a game changer because I looked at my resume and was like, I'd hire this person!”
