When looking for a job, all of us can face a situation where the offer that the company makes to us does not quite meet our expectations. However, surely among your friends there are such "lucky" ones who each time manage to get a job better than others, and get the "sweetest" positions. Well, the time has come to reveal the secret, or rather, the whole four secrets that will help you to get the same wonderful result. Of course, I will remind you that miracles do not happen, and you will have to work on the correct use of "classified information" yourself.

So, the first secret

Enter into negotiations

Are you surprised? In general, all secret technologies, as a rule, are subject to common sense. If the offer that you received did not suit you, try to discuss it. The habit of thinking out for the interlocutor, which brings us down both in personal relationships and in business, here plays a cruel joke with us once again. We believe that the company immediately offered us the maximum, and further bargaining is already pointless, and we do not even try to find out how you can improve this offer for yourself. And, either you refuse the offer (and then the company loses a potential employee, and you - a potential job), or you agree to conditions that do not suit you - and you regret it. You are a loser anyway. And the employer, to be honest, too.

Second secret

Decide in advance what you want

And again - Captain Obvious greets you:)

Remember the fairy tale about "go there, I don't know where, and bring that, I don't know what"? There, the hero was sent on a long journey with the sole purpose of getting lost and not returning. But you're not your own enemy, are you? So it would be good to define your desires and fix them for yourself in writing. What is it for?

First, you will get a reference list of requirements and wishes for future work - there will be something to compare the received proposals with.

Secondly, it’s a great way not to forget anything important during the interview. The candidate is always given the opportunity to ask questions - and you already have a list ready, and even if you are worried - there is something to spy on so as not to miss all the important points.

Thirdly, a person who knows what he wants is wonderful in itself, and characterizes the applicant in an excellent way in the eyes of employers.

The third secret

Money is not the most important thing. Evaluate the offer comprehensively

HRs have a saying - "when an employee does not know what he wants, he asks for a raise." This partly echoes Secret number 2 - when, when looking for a job, a specialist has not decided on his wishes and priorities.

Perhaps the best offer for you is not a job with a maximum salary, but a job close to home so that you can have time to walk your old dog at lunchtime. Evaluate the whole proposal - the status of the company, the way to the workplace and the workplace itself, the content of the work, the "whiteness" of the salary, the availability of a social package, insurance and incentive payments, the level of responsibility and independence, career prospects, work schedule (official and " desirable "for the employer), potential boss and colleagues, communication style in the team … Try to isolate what is really important to you, and consider all proposals, comparing them by these parameters.

The fourth secret, bonus

Record agreements in writing

I think there is no need to explain why this should be done. I will only clarify in what form the agreements between the employee and the employer can be recorded:

Job offer (written job offer). It is not a legal document, but, as a rule, companies that draw up offers based on the results of negotiations fulfill their agreements.

Labor contract. An official document containing information on all essential working conditions. You can sign it not on the day you go to work, but in advance, indicating the start date of work.

Local regulations of the company. This is a collective name, it includes a whole bunch of documents regulating important processes in the company, with which you have the right to familiarize yourself BEFORE starting work. It is mandatory that these are the Regulations on Remuneration, Internal Labor Regulations, Job Descriptions, and there may also be a number of optional documents that contain important information on training, employee assessment, conditions for providing them with insurance and other "social benefits".

What is important when analyzing these documents? It is correct that what is written in them does not contradict the agreements that you have reached with the employer, and that these agreements are specifically recorded in the documents. Otherwise, you will have to believe "the boy's word", which is not always the best solution.

Now, I hope, it will become easier for you to get the best offers on the labor market for you. If any of the above is clearly "lame" for you, and there are fears that you will not be able to cope on your own - ask for support - coaching is just for such tasks.
