Just be yourself!!!

Sr. Unix System Administrator - (City withheld for privacy), Québec, Canada

If you start playing games and come up with strategic lies or misinformation, you will get burned. IT is a small world. All you gotta do to get a raise is to simply BE YOURSELF and then some! Talk about all the good things you did, the praises you received. Be professional, polite and articulate. Write your achievements down so that when the time comes, you're armed with actual facts rather than trying to remember your 'story'.
