In her BizCareers column, Juliette Attwell gives some advice on what can be quite an uncomfortable topic - when and how to ask for a raise.

If you feel like you need some advice on making your newsletter a must-read, Hansie Smit gives five tips for writing a thrilling newsletter.

Last but not least, if you missed last week's Biz Takeouts show, the podcast, Understanding key consumer trends across the African continent, is now available.

Have a good week!

Cheers!
