Why This Worked
“Because the job required in-depth knowledge of project management and budget analysis, the salary offer was way higher than what my last job paid,” said Liwanag. “I was fortunate to meet such requirements. My new job enables me to apply all the training I had in both undergraduate and graduate schools. My bosses have seen my work ethic, professionalism, and products and services I produce, and they have given me salary increases — plus bonuses — year after year. I have also joined several developmental and leadership programs that the company sponsored, which also contributed to both my professional development and the salary increase and bonuses I got.”
