Normally you would present your supervisor with a written request. This would require you to show all the papers you have typed for him/her have no spelling or punctuation errors.

You would also need to show the supervisor you had promptly and professionally relayed all messages to him./her, and had been respectful to the clients with whom you talked on the telephone.

You would want to be able to show you had always been on time, nd had always carried out company policy to the best of your ability.

You would also,like, want to like, show the dude that you/like, did not use like slang when talking, and like, especially not when writing

u also need 2 sho boss u dont uz abbvs in cmpny pprs

First mention how much you like the company…

Example: In the past year in working at _____ Co., I have found this position to be exciting, challenging and rewarding. The experience here has been wonderful and I look forward to my future with this company.

Then show how much value you are to the company and what you did to deserve the raise.

For instance:

With the wide array of duties my position covers, as well as, frequent new additons to those duties, I believe that I have handled myself and this position well. There has always been an emphasis on customer service, even when things were very busy. In helping with the day to day operations, I have made several processes more efficient, while still focusing on quality.

(Secretaries are not only responsible for helping the day to day operations, but for answering calls from the general public as well as many other things)

Lastly, just ask….

I would like you to consider a raise in my salary, due to the ever changing duties and rising cost of living. Also, at a later date, I would like to discuss growing within the company and expanding my career down the line.

( The last sentence leaves open a possibility of a promotion down the line.)

Well lets see – your job is basically to make your boss who is a stupid, lazy idiot that can’t even answer the phone without screwing it up look good.

Your job is to know everything that is going on, be discreet (especially when you know he is a lying cheat to his wife), and be completely and totally organized all the time.

You have to know how to do his job also because he is totally incapable of doing it himself.

You must present to him what an asset you are and have examples of how you saved his butt but don’t make him feel like the chump he is and you have to do all this while making minimum wage.

Well the secratary should be kind of nervous and edgy because they are asking for a raise and the boss puts up a good arguement that the secratary should not get a raise because he is a tight **** =]
