How to negotiate a job offer during the interview

How to negotiate a job offer during the interviewHow to negotiate a job offer during the interviewI recently received a sweet email from a participant in our recent NYCBossed Up Bootcamp. In her note, Brianna highlighted a priceless negotiation lesson I think we all can learn from, too.Heres an excerpt from what she wroteI wanted to reach out to say thank you - I came to yourBootcampweekend in NYC back in April, and it was a really eye-opening and useful experience. It provided me with both an overall confidence boost and some very specific takeaways that have been helpful to me recently.When I came to Bootcamp, I was unhappy in my job and looking for other opportunities. About a month later, I got an interview with a great organization for a job that seemed like a great challenge for me. After a few interviews, I got the job Its a shift in the kind of work Ill be doing to something I really enjoy, the team seems great, and its a promotion Im really excited.During the initial phone screen, the HR person handling the process asked me my salary range. I hadnt prepared to answer that so early on in the process. Before I answered, I remembered the negotiation advice from Bootcamp, and instead of giving a number without doing research, I turned it around and asked him what their salary cap would be. The range he gave wasmuchhigher than I would have given myself - and, when the offer came through, the final number was significantly mora than I was previously makingI have your workshop to thank for that if I hadnt gone toBossed Up Bootcamp, I wouldnt have practiced those negotiation tips and I would have unknowingly continued to undervalue myself - and I could have missed out on a big salary bump.This message, of course, left me screaming YAS, BOSS at my laptop for quite a while. Talk about making boss moves, Brianna GET YO MONEY, GIRLBut shes talking about an all-too-common negotiation challenge how to handle the mid-interview salary question. Its such a sticky si tch Youre vibing with the interviewer, and theyre loving everything youve got to say, so they start moving things ahead albeit, prematurely.Maybe the interviewer asks So, what are your salary expectations? Or whats your salary history like? (Even though even asking that question is nowoutlawedin a handful of states since it has a tendency to perpetuate systemic wage gaps).So how do you handle it?1. Remember that negotiation starts with a solid offer.Youre not in any kind of a position to negotiate until an offer is on the table. And unless youre a contractor or consultant pitching the company (your prospectiveclient), then theyre the ones who should be making the first move on that front.2. Ask hiring manager the same as politely as possible.Youre going to want to stop, drop, and roll off this topic like your life depends on it (because, well, yourlivelihooddoes).Heres my fruchtwein popular Youtube video of all time in which I present a quick 3-step strategy to move on from this q uestion gracefully without giving your power away3. Be persistent about not disclosing pay.Slap a smile on your face and repeat these refusals as many times as you need toIm not comfortable discussing salary at this stage in the game.When the time comes, Im looking forward to hearing more about your offer.I dont disclose my pay, but am sure youll make a competitive offer if youd like to move forward.Dont let anyone bully you into answering a question that you dont want to answer even if you start to feel squeamish about it Consider this those 10 seconds of awkwardness might otherwise cost youTHOUSANDSof dollars in lost compensation each year. And that ish adds up BIG TIME when you consider how that compounds over the course of a lifetime.Stand your ground, and if the interviewer starts bullying you or reacts incredibly poorly at your polite, professional refusal, well thats all you needed to know about how they treat their people.Have you used this strategy when dodging the mid-int erview salary question?I want to hear about your experience in the comments section belowAnd of course, Id also love to invite you to check outBossed Up Bootcampwhenever youre ready to navigate career transition and level up in work and life like a bossBut dont take my word for it heres more straight from Briannas emailBootcampwas really illuminating, and gave me the space to consider my big dreams and different possibilities without judgement - while still being practical about all of it. Plus I started listening to yourpodcast(the episode abouthow to resign in a professional waycame in very natel recently, haha) and Ive been carrying these lessons forward in my own life and recommending Bossed Up to friends, tooThis article first appeared on BossedUp.

How to Handle a Radical Career Shake-Up

How to Handle a Radical Career Shake-Up How to Handle a Radical Career Shake-Up Have you ever faceda challenging work-related situation? I think we all have. Maybe you got laid off, or maybe you made a mistake that cost you your job. Whatever the situation, when we facesuch challenges, our first reaction is typically negative. Wecan quickly become overwhelmed byfear, shame, or worry.But those initial emotions arent alwayswarranted.As the brilliant leader and CEO Tom Darden once said to me, No matter what happens, our initial emotions are almost always wrong.Its so true When something bad happens or even something good we jump to conclusions. When something bad happens at work, we jump to the conclusion that our life is over or well never work again. How toHandle a Career Shake-UpOver the course of your career, things may happen that shake you to your core. You may lose a job, lose a key kollektiv member, miss out on a raise or a promotion, or not get accepted into an educational program or school.Situations like ansicht are life-changing and initially might seem bad. So, how do you shift your perspective and learn that, sometimes, a bad thing is actually a good thing?Here are a few steps to take when youre facing a core-shaking career situation and feeling lost, scared, or overwhelmed1. Catch Your BreathWhen one of these core-changing career scenarios happens, it is easy to become overwhelmed with emotion. Your head mightspin in every direction as you mentally play out a string of worst-case scenarios. That is why its important to pause, take a deep breath, and gain some perspective.If youre dealing with a work-related crisis, take an emotional timeout. Go for a walk or practice deep breathing. Once youve calmed down, ask yourself, What can I learn from this? Is it possible that this situation, which seems bad right now, is actually a good thing?For example, losing a key person on your team would be hard, but it would also give you a chance to evaluate your business, figure out why that person left, and set yourself up for success with a new person.Or say you got passed over for a big promotion or raise. That hurts, but it can also open up the door to conversations with your leadership team about where you can improve. Similarly, if you didnt get into that prestigious program, it could send you on a totally different education track thats ultimately a better fit for your goals.The point is, theres a silver lining in every situation. You just need to have the faith to find it. 2. Seek Outside CounselWhen youre dealing with an overwhelming work situation, it can be easy to get caught up in your own head. Thats why it is so important to reach out and get other peoples perspectives.Because the situation is so personal to you, youre at risk of blowing it out of proportion. By talking to other people and hearing their views, you can gain some perspective and realize that whatever is going on at your job isnt as bad as it seems. 3. Get Your Attitude in CheckSuccess in life largely depends on your attitude. Successful people have what is called an internal locus of control. This means they realize they are in the drivers seat of their lives and have the ability to control their thoughts, emotions, and outlooks. This, in turn, affects their circumstances and how they interact with the world.People who typically struggle have an external locus of control. They adopt a victim mentality. Instead of feeling in charge of their own lives, they feel that things just happen to them and they have little to no control.How you approach life from a place of power or a place of victimhood is one of the most important contributors to your success. If you can approach whatever is happening in your career from a place of control,you can find the silver lining and use it as a catalyst for positive growth and change.Its never easy when seemingly negative things happen at work, but the thing that seems like a setback today might be the b est thing that ever happened to your career. Dont waste these opportunities. You are in your powerful and creative sweet spot. You have clarity and the motivation to take action, whereas otherwise you might have been too comfortable to notice and too complacent to act.This is your time your chance so seize the momentRobert Dickie is the author of Love Your Work 4 Practical Ways You Can Pivot to Your Best Career.

Scaramucci demonstrates the wrong way to handle conflict with co-workers

Scaramucci demonstrates the wrong way to handle conflict with co-workersScaramucci demonstrates the wrong way to handle conflict with co-workersWhite House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has only had the job for less than a week, but hes already making public enemies.After his government financial disclosure form appeared on Politico on Wednesday, Scaramucci didnt think the information was public knowledge, as Politico had reported. He immediately believed that the information must have been leaked and he vowed to find the leaker that night.Scaramucci already had an idea of who it might be- though no apparent proof- and he went public with his speculation.In a since-deleted tweet,Scaramucci said that he would be contacting federal authorities - specifically the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Justice- to find the leaker and included the Twitter handle of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus. New Yorker writer Ryan Lizza confirmed that Scaramucc i meant to imply that Priebus was involved.Scaramucci has previously said that he and Priebus have been personal friends for six years who are a little bit like brothers, where we rough each other up a little, which is totally normal for brothers. But this latest public dispute appears to be more than a brotherly spat. Scaramucci later clarified that his tweet wasnt a direct attack at Priebus, but a public notice to leakers that all Sr Adm senior administration officials are helping to end illegal leaks.But he also ended that clarifying tweet by once more including the Twitter handle of Priebus.Theres lots to unpack here about Scaramuccis tweet and subsequent press tour. Whether youre a public servant to the U.S. government or an geschftszimmer worker, here are a few takeaways on how not to handle interpersonal conflict at work.1. Dont the FBIThis should go without saying, but please explore ways to solve your conflict without involving federal law enforcement. Start lower, like wi th maybe your manager or human resources.2. Dont take it publicPeople loathe being publicly humiliated, and its a good way to make a permanent enemy. Tweeting at your superior in a negative post is like CCing your boss in an email insulting them. Not only is it extremely unprofessional to air your dirty laundry in public, it also sows conflict, confusion and chaos among your staff.According to some journalists, however, that may be exactly Scaramuccis goal.3. Dont make accusations without proofWhatever your chosen method of distribution for your grievances - whether it is social media (bad idea) or a private conversation - be responsible about your words. Dont air your heated suspicions about your colleague unless you can back them up with more than a hunch. When you get the proof and can show the result, then you go to higher powers.So far, its unclear if the release of Scaramuccis disclosure forms was actually illegal. Politico said it obtained the documents because it was publi cly available upon request. Under federal law, its okay to request to read such a report 30 days after its been filed. That forced Scaramucci to delete his explosive tweet, which made him look confused and unreliable.The big takeaway? Dont make accusations you cant back up. It hurts your reputation and opens you up to contempt, much like the fierce public mockery Scaramucci has faced since waging his war against Priebus.4. Dont make it personalScaramuccis subtle and not-so-subtle jabs at Priebus go beyond attacks on his colleagues ability to do his job. They are direct attacks on Priebus character. The day after he implied Priebus was a felon, Scaramucci let the accusation hang without clearing it up.When I put out a tweet and I put Reinces name in a tweet, theyre all making the assumption that its him because journalists know who the leakers are, Scaramucci said in a CNN bewerberinterview Thursday. So if Reince wants to explain hes not a leaker, let him do that. But let me tell you about myself. Im a straight shooter and Ill go right to the heart of the matter.Implying that Reince is not a straight shooter is not a ringing endorsement of Priebuss character, and it makes an already messy situation messier and uglier. Appealing to the court of public opinion should be a last resort. Internal mediation between you and the co-worker causing you conflict should always come first.Whats the penalty if you dont follow these steps? Reputational harm. Scaramucci, after only one week in the job - and still without official clearance - has made his public image about infighting and treachery towards a colleague, rather than representing the Presidents position. Members of the media openly called his comments among the craziest they had ever seen in politics. Projecting insecurity and instability generally wont help you get your point across or get bigger assignments. Learning how to handle conflict calmly and effectively will go much further.

5 Ways a Mentor Can Boost Your Career Potential

5 Ways a Mentor Can Boost Your Career Potential5 Ways a Mentor Can Boost Your Career Potential5 Ways a Mentor Can Boost Your Career PotentialWho needs a ratgeber? You do.At the beginning of your professional career, everything can seem overwhelming. Perhaps youve started a job in an industry unrelated to your degree. Maybe youve changed career paths. No matter the situation, a berater can help.In the middle of your professional career, everything can seem boring or mediocre. The newness has worn off, you are confident in your skills, and the climb up the ladder is often tedious. Its easy to get into a career rut and feel like youre just going through the motions. In the middle of your career, too, a ratgeber can guide you.And at the end of your career, when youve accomplished all you set out to, even as things wind down, career coaching can help make that transition smoother.In short, finding a mentor is a vital part of any thriving career, at al stages. Dont miss out on the guidance a mentor brings and the boost youll see in your career.Here are some of the ways career coaching can help you.1. Acknowledge your shortcomings.If youre trying to move upward in your career, you need to know exactly whats weighing you down, making that vertical climb more difficult. Chances are, you know many of your shortcomings and are working to eliminate them. But sometimes the biggest flaws are the ones we cant see. A mentor can come in with an outside perspective to point out issues you may not be able to see.Your relationship with your mentor will allow you to talk about your shortcomings freely and much more easily than you could with a boss or supervisor. Even if the shortcomings your mentor points out are ones you already know, working with him/her to find ways to make you better without the fear of it impacting your career is invaluable.2. Develop your strengths.Just like knowing your shortcomings, knowing your strengths is also a key part of your career. You know best wh at youre good at and what comes easily to you. And again, a mentor may be able to point out some assets you may not fully realize. But strengths are only strengths as long as they continue to grow and develop. And often developing those strengths isnt something you can do on your own.The outside perspective career coaching brings can also acknowledge some areas that arent currently strengthsbut could be. Maybe youre mediocre at one thing, but based on other strengths and weaknesses, you could develop that ordinary skill into a strong one. Mentors can help identify areas that you can work on, making you stronger.3. Learn something new.No matter how smart you are or how much you know, the more you know the more you realize how much you have to learn. Finding a mentor outside your company or department provides you with access to knowledge you may not have known you were missing. It may be beneficial, also, to specifically look for a mentor with knowledge in an area you need to learn m ore about. Learning something new wont just make you a better person, but it will also show your employer you are disciplined and take initiativealways good traits.4. Discuss difficult decisions.As an outside source, a mentor has a unique outlook, able to give you advice without having a stake in the situation. When difficult work (or even personal) issues arise, often you will be unable to discuss it with others at your company. Career coaching provides the wisdom and knowledge necessary for quality opinions and can help you discuss your options. Youre essentially in the presence of a safe zone, able to opine and debate the situation without offending anyone or speaking out of turn.In addition to giving great advice, finding a mentor can also give you a sounding board. Sometimes you wont necessarily need advice on a situation as much you need to just talk it out. Often you know what the best course of action is, and saying it out loud, again to an impartial party, can be exactly wh at you need to gain a better perspective on the situation.5. Connect with new people.After being in the same industry for several years, you start to find that everyone knows the same people. And they all know the same people in the industry, too. Your mentor, as an outsider, has access to a whole new network of individuals you may not. You can glean from their wisdom as well as your mentors. Networking with new people boosts your opportunities exponentially. As the saying goes, Its all about who you know.Connecting with a mentor can change your career in ways you may have never seen possible. Whether youre at the beginning, middle, or end of your career path, a mentor can come in and provide guidance and support that will make you a better employee and a better human.Ready to write the next chapter of your career?
