Its very irritating where I work. I am making $11 an hour and have been at this company for going on 2 years, obtained a certification for the job I do. The policy says that you will get an evaluation every six months. I have not gotten one yet. They just started a new person with no experience or certifications at $11 an hour. I am considering going somewhere else where my efforts will be recognized. Should I take another job?

Make a list of all the things you like about this job.
The type of work, the travel from home to work, the hours, your co-workers, etc.
Now make a list of all the things you do not like about the job.
The pay, new help coming at the same pay,the lack of your evaluation.
Look at both lists. Do the negatives really out weigh the positives?
Next consider how you can change the negatives. Speak to your boss. Before you meet with him know what you want to say in an open impartial way.
Now consider what else is out there for work options.
Never give up a needed income without giving it a lot of thought. The next job may be worse than the current one. You may find that this job was not so bad or that you could have worked out the problems and kept the job.
Good luck.

That woud be a definate "yes" and remember to always keep in the back of your mind that every five years to entertain the option of looking for a new job. Just incase you get stagnet in your job like now. Also be sure that you are doing all that you can do to be a asset in your job. Get all your certification to help boost and even higher probability of getting a raise.

Absolutely. The worse thing you can do to yourself is stay at a job where your talents are not recognized. Find a job that will make feel happy and appreciated.

Always be looking for something better. Go on interviews, and look for something better, with better pay. It never hurts to look around... If you can't find anything, then what you have now is better than nothing at all.

Before you do that, talk to the management there and tell them your concerns.
