Look for the right boss: confidently stand up for yourself!

You probably won't stay happy in your new job for long if you're in the job interview made too many compromises on your demands. So you stand up for your claims right from the start.

Stand for your interests!

The fact that you stand up for yourself and your interests is crucial for yours Success. Because it also shows their potential Executivethat you have dealt seriously with your demands beforehand. You should note the following:

• Think carefully about what and especially how you demand it.
• Keep in mind that the different industries offer different benefits to employees. You need to know for yourself what's important to you.
• Keep in mind that your requirements should be adjusted or matched to the company, the position and your current career level.
• Consider if you are offered alternative benefits. It is a huge difference whether you are a medium-sized company, a corporation or a start-up.
• And then it comes. Do not just ask, but explain why certain demands are important to you and why they are justified in your eyes.

Show development potential

But you shouldn't just make demands, you should also show your potential for development. I already wrote in the first part of the article that openness means to be weaknesses to stand. There is a good reason for this:

If you are presented as a perfect employee from the beginning, what is the future development? The same is the case with employers. These often seek employees who optimize processes, initiate changes or bring a better performance.

When an employer makes such demands, he is admitting that not everything is going perfectly. This should then also in Conversation clear be made. It doesn't help anyone if an unrealistic picture is drawn at the beginning and expectations are disappointed.

Ask for feedback

Just a little thing at the end. Ask At the end of the interview, simply ask directly after a short Feedback. The point is not that this feedback should directly express whether the Candidate comes into question or not and which were the decisive reasons.

These reasons will not give you a potential employer due to the General Equal Treatment Act. It is more about a first perception of the conversation. Say: what opened the conversation, it was a pleasant atmosphere, as was the first impression - a feedback without any personal features.
