About one month ago, I went to my boss with with a detailed outline regarding my current position and how I think the job has evolved. I asked for a significant raise of and additional $9000 per year and asked for paid tuition.(I currently have an AA degree in Business,want to get my BA) I included facts about the industry, my skills, and salary research. She was very receptive. Said she agreed and was very impressed. She has had several meetings with the owners of our company and is ready to talk to me about my promotion and raise. I have worked there for 9 years. I have never asked for anything like this before. So I am niave about what to expect form our lunch meeting.

Expect to sell yourself big time and make a great impression so she is 100% sure that she is making the right decision to promote you. You sound like an ambitious person that any company would like to have. You can also expect to be coached by her. Chances are, you may have to speak to the owners so she wants to prep you. It may sound a little premature, but congratulations....I think you have a slam dunk here! Good luck and never ever sell yourself short. You have a lot to offer...and it shows already!

That's right. Put it all on the line. Sell the product; you. But be smart and tape record the whole time you are together. Better to be safe than sorry; cover your ***.

Expect a raise. Not as big as you asked for, though. Expect to negotiate.
