When trying to make a successful career, which is better: being a generalist or a specialist? Inother words, should you generalize and know a little about a lot of things?
Natasha Olinger, a human resource expert, talks about the benefits of both. She said Generally speaking, the common wisdom is that it's always better to specialize and then you can demand a higher salary.
To explain her idea, linger uses a fairly commons situation-choosing a restaurant
If you go to a restaurant that only serves sushi, you can expect high quality products, and you also should expect to pay more. If you go to a place that serves sushi, tacos and pizza, the quality of the sushi may not be so great, but the prices will probably be lower. However, she adds that all is not perfect in the world of the specialist. If there is a drop in economy, a generalist may get more job offers.
Olinger suggests thinking about the size and type of business you would like to work for.
Also, companies that are just getting started often need people who are able to perform many different tasks. For example, your job description may be that of a graphic designer, but you may also have to do some writing. Larger companies can be just the opposite. They often need specialists-experts in a given field. But perhaps the best solution is a mix of generalization and specialization. The top of the T would be the generalized part. The upright stem of the T would be the deeper understanding of a person's general knowledge-their expertise
A. Or should we combine these two with each other?
B. Some career planners call this a "t-shaped" career.
C. Say you want to eat a favorite Japanese meal: sushi.
D Olinger says the world of work is not all that different.
E. Small businesses often need people who can do many things.
F. Olinger also warns that the world of work is more complex than this.
G Or should you specialize and have a deep understanding of only one area.

A. Don't accuse your employer. B. Staying calm will only help your case. C. Take advantage of how much men colleagues earn. D. It's never a good idea to go into a salary negotiation blindly. E. You are often paid less salary than your workmates in similar positions. F. But women face unique challenges when it comes to requesting more money. G. They allow you to search for compensation info based on industry and geographic region. |
Asking for a raise can be a discouraging prospect for any employee. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} If you're a female employee seeking a raise, it matters to approach that conversation strategically. Here are a few tips for pulling it off successfully.
Do your research.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} So if you're making a case for a pay increase, you'll need to gather some data on what others in similar positions are earning. To that end, do some research on sites like Salary. com. {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Remember to collect the average earnings for all workers in your position and make your case for why you deserve to be paid similarly.
Don't get emotional.
Women are often accused of getting emotional on the job. In fact, it's that so-called sensitive nature that causes some people to claim they're uncomfortable working with and promoting female employees. That's why it's extremely important to keep you cool during a salary negotiation. Be specific and present hard evidence of your value to the company. Try to focus on your positive contributions, rather than the negative feelings. And although the discussion might get heated, be sure not to yell or, worse yet, cry while it's going down. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Given many news stories about how men out-earn women, you may tend to draw on some of that data as a reason for getting a raise. But be very careful about using that argument, because unless you have definitive proof that your male colleagues - with the same exact titles, experience, and responsibilities—are making more money than you, you're better off avoiding that angle.
