No matter what line of work one is in the question, “
Am I paid less than my peers?
” always comes up.
TO MAXIMIZE YOUR EARNING POTENTIAL:
1.
Start by understanding where you are relative to your peers.
2.
Make certain you have a well-defined job description or list of expectations.
3.
Perform a candid self-evaluation of your personal performance to expectations.
Everyone usually has a higher opinion of one’s performance so it is important to
be as objective as possible. Visit our website
www.vista-dental.com, and download a
self-evaluation form
(http://bit.ly/2dX28pc).
4.
Encourage your dental office to conduct annual performance reviews.
5.
Know your strengths and be prepared to give examples, i.e., your attendance and
dependability, your ability to contribute to the offices bottom line by controlling dental
supply purchases, etc.
