How to Become an Expert in Your Field

Do you want to advance your career, or are you just passionate about an industry or issue?Becoming an expert, so to say, will create a powerful platform for your career. And you don't have to pursue the area of your day job--you can expand your horizons in anything! Here are some ways to advance your knowledge and platform--for the purpose of advancing your career!
Put in your time. Obviously, you will not be an expert at anything, or come close to it, if you do not have some real-world experience. So if you are a new graduate, put a few years into your career and see if you like where you are headed.

Network with others. Experts always have a story to share and get a feel for issues in their industry by connecting with others. So by networking, I mean that you should reach out to others without any known motive. If you are researching a book you will meet others in your field that have something important to say, but it is likely that publishers will want a foundation first. So take time and build up your experience first before you start pushing the expert thing.

Continue your education. Get ahead by staying on top of trends. Even if you are not signing up for courses, you can stay on top of your industry by combing industry websites and subscribing to trade publications.

Write a book. Nowadays, it's not so hard to publish a book due to the power of self-publishing. No matter how you publish, once you have enough to say, or have conducted enough research on a topic, you can easily compile a book. This isn't easy at all, but it does establish a great foundation for you to build your career specializing in one area.

Market yourself and promote yourself. Once you have a book, you can seek out the opportunity to speak and write about your topic. You can also use PR sources to stay on top of leads in which people want to speak to people in your area of specialty. You may also want to create a website that can serve as a hub for speaking engagements, press clippings, articles you write and other updated material.

Don't use the term "expert." It's nice to be referred to as an expert in something by others, but if you push this too much to promote yourself you can sound cocky and open yourself up to more people scrutinizing your credentials. Instead, you can use the word "specialist" if you need to designate a title.

How to Nicely Ask for a Raise



Requesting a pay raise at work can sometimes be a tricky situation. After all, a lot of different factors tend to contribute to the outcome, from the current state of the economy to the way you handled organizing the company picnic last week. When speaking with your boss about the possibility of a raise, keep proper etiquette in mind.

Learn how your company typically manages pay raises.
Every company handles things differently. For example, your company may closely assess the annual job performances of its employees every December, which could mean that pay raises take place soon after, in January. Knowing your company's policies may prevent yourself from wasting time and asking when it simply isn't appropriate.

Understand your position's value.
Before you ask your boss for a raise, develop a strong knowledge of your position and its value on the market. One way in which to do this is by networking with people who have similar job titles in your field, especially if they work for different companies. If you work as a marketing assistant, compare notes on standard salaries with other people employed in marketing.

Request a meeting with your boss.
Once you are prepared to have the discussion with your boss, ask if you can have a private meeting. Then, honestly and clearly indicate your purpose for the meeting. State that you believe you should be considered for a pay hike due to your many skills and recent achievements. Provide specific and detailed examples of your recent accomplishments. For example, if just you secured an exclusive client for your company, mention that.

Inform your boss of the exact raise you want.
Do not be too intimidated to state an exact amount. To strengthen the validity of your request, be sure to have information about market rates on hand.

Inquire about future action.
In the event that your boss declines your request for a raise, ask her if it may be a possibility in the future. Ask her if there is anything you could do to increase your possibility of a raise.
