Deadline: 2:00 PM EST - 21 September

Hello. Hope all is well,

My name is Shawn. I am a writer for CNBC Grow, a vertical
dedicated to telling news and practical stories about millennial
money. I'm working on a story about Walmart announcing last week
that it would be giving 165,000 employees a pay raise between
$15 and $30:
https://www.fastcompany.com/90552091/walmart-is-giving-165000-employees-a-pay-rise-between-15-and-30-per-hour.
Using this as a jump off point, we are looking to walk young
people through how they can ask for a raise at their job, too.
I'm hoping to receive a few responses to the below points that
we will use as quotes in the story:

-- How can building your own skillset put you in a better
position to ask for/get a raise?

-- What sorts of steps can you take to learn your own
professional value, financially speaking? (I.e., salary
calculator, interviewing in similar fields.)

-- How to you actually ask for the raise, and when is the right
time, considering companies may be cash strapped due to
Covid-19?

-- Anything you want to add? What is you official title to be
used in the piece?

Please send inquires to: shawn.carter@nbcuni.com All responses
will be reviewed within the time frame, though there will be
some flexibility. Granted we decide to use your quote in the
story, I will be in touch personally on the details.

Thank you so much and looking forward,

Deadline: 1:00 PM EST - 21 September

Query:

Hello. Hope all is well,

My name is Shawn. I am a writer for CNBC Grow, a vertical
dedicated to telling news and practical stories about millennial
money. I'm working on a story about Walmart announcing last week
that it would be giving 165,000 employees a pay raise between
$15 and
$30:https://www.fastcompany.com/90552091/walmart-is-giving-165000-employees-a-pay-rise-between-15-and-30-per-hour.
Using this as a jump off point, we are looking to walk young
people through how they can ask for a raise at their job, too.
I'm hoping to receive a few responses to the below points that
we will use as quotes in the story:

-- How can building your own skillset put you in a better
position to ask for/get a raise? What sorts of steps can you
take to learn your own professional value, financially speaking?
(I.e., salary calculator, interviewing in similar fields.) --
How to you actually ask for the raise, and when is the right
time, considering companies may be cash strapped due to
Covid-19? -- Anything you want to add? What is you official
title to be used in the piece?

Please send inquires to: shawn.carter@nbcuni.com

All responses will be reviewed within the time frame, though
there will be some flexibility. Granted we decide to use your
quote in the story, I will be in touch personally on the
details. Thank you so much and looking forward,

customers about the possible side effects of their cleaning
agents?
