	<description>This blog is brought to you by Born Interactive. It is a pro-active initiative to face the year 2009’s negative vibes and uncertainty due to the evolving and escalating global financial crisis. We dedicate this blog to all the positive-minded people who seek opportunities in trying times, who view problems as challenges and who always look ahead and work for a brighter future. At the threshold of 2009, it is neither destructive pessimism nor blind optimism that is needed but a state of “optinism”, which is why we launched this blog in the first place.</description>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>A colleague shared with me a nice article about raises during crisis. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraph"><span>You can still be positive during the crisis, and yes, ask for a raise! This is what Kim Fusaro thinks, inspired by </span><span>Libby Gill, an executive coach and the author of </span><a href="http://www.amazon.com/You-Unstuck-Mastering-Rules-Risk-Taking/dp/1932361685/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1251171828&amp;sr=8-1" target="_blank">You Unstuck</a><span>. But the question here is <em>how</em> will you do it without realizing in a blink of an eye that you became a desperate “unemployed” crisis victim? The key idea we think you should always remember is: “<span>Even if you’re not thrilled with your job, you’ll be a lot worse off without one”.
