If you think it’s time for a raise, start preparing your information and go get it!  Do research in your career field to figure out how much your job is worth from a site like salary.com.  If your research reveals you should be earning more investigate in a delicate way, what others in your company are receiving for compensation and benefits.  Then honestly consider your worth and contribution to the company.  Were there special jobs or projects that made you stand out from the rest?  If so be sure to include those in your pitch to your supervisor.  Be sure to carefully practice your dialog and role play to gain confidence for your meeting.  Then when the time is right, go get it.
