Maximize your pay by maximizing your contributions Nuclear Engineer - (City withheld for privacy), North Carolina, United States
In my prior position for this company, I thought I had skills that were not being fully utilized. I talked to a number of superiors and told them how I thought I could contribute more and how the company needed me to do that. They agreed! I wrote my new job description, received a promotion and a big pay raise. Now I do the job I absolutely love and receive the pay and prestige I deserve. Sell yourself. Do not be afraid to ask.
