The first 4 Do's and don'ts during salary negotiations

  • Negotiate only after the job offer about the job 's salary
  • Do not disclose your last paycheck
  • Say nothing about salary requirements
  • Let the employer offer

Negotiate only after the job offer about the job 's salary
Speak only about the salary after the prospective employer has offered the feature. He has decided that you are the best candidate and would like to employ . You are then in a good bargaining position . The longer you delay the salary discussion , the more chances you have to sell yourself and the higher the salary that potential boss is willing to pay.

Do not disclose your last paycheck
Whoever first puts his cards on the table , usually loses . The prospective employer knows this and probably you try to get to you. Paycheck wishes therefore on Often this is done by asking the salary at your previous boss : ' What was your last salary? " The rule is that you let nothing about your latest paycheck . Response options are :
' How my current salary is not important . It's what a reasonable fee for this feature . "
" When I say that , I give you misleading information because my previous salary was based . Other circumstances '
Both arguments are also recommended by the Board for the Protection of Human Rights . The last salary as a starting point frequently leads to unequal treatment .

Say nothing about salary requirements
The prospective employer might be trying to figure out by asking your salary requirements : "How much do you want to make here?" , While he has not said that the choice has fallen on you . Strong answers are :
" You Provide the function to me?" The answer is no , then ask him what it restrains you to ask for the job .
" That depends on the tasks and responsibilities ."
" I want to get with you about exchanging ideas , as soon as we both have come that I am the right candidate to fill this vacancy. Concludes '

Let the employer offer
When you first make a proposal for a salary , it has two drawbacks . First, you run the risk that you call a lower salary than the prospective boss is willing to pay. This is so far below the budgeted amount that he thinks you are too light for the job . Second, the amount may be so far above the salary that he thinks reasonable, that you praise yourself out of the market .

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands.

I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
