Getting a raise on the job during economic slow downs can be challenging sometimes.

In tonight's Simple Savings News 25's Denise Jackson has some advice from Cindy Neal, one of our on-line experts, about ways to get ahead at work during tough times.

"As you grow in your career, it's important to keep track of your achievements. Keep a detailed list of specific projects, deadlines, timelines and accomplishments as you advance in your job. Also, keep track of how you have impacted the budget, company goals and other areas that have directly affected the organization as a whole. Be able to demonstrate how you have helped save time or money, or how you have helped increased sales or profits, and you will be well on your way to being an MVP to your boss. "
