Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – The salary negotiation process in a job interview certainly has a significant impact on long-term personal finances. It’s no secret that this process can sometimes be difficult for those who are shy or often feel “uncomfortable” with other people.
When you are paid cheaply by your employer, aka underpaid, the employer will consider this as an investment, but this is not the case for you as an employee.
This certainly affects your future monthly financial cash flow. And when your work demands do not match the salary you get, demotivation is something that has the potential to occur.
The following are salary negotiation tips for shy employees that can be applied.
Prepare well in advance
Those who are shy can overthink and laugh at the company because their salary expectations are too high.
Therefore, it is not wrong to find out information about salary levels at your new workplace regarding the average salary for each position in the company. You can get that information on job search sites.
Or if there aren’t any, you can use reports about salary reports released by several companies in Indonesia. Use this data to make a salary offer at the new company.
do not hesitate
Many golden opportunities are lost because we are afraid or embarrassed to ask for more.
Therefore, before entering the salary negotiation stage, identify your needs first. Create a cash flow simulation based on your income and expenses.
When you know what your ideal salary is, don’t hesitate to ask for it.
Remember, you are an asset!
Show the company that there will be a mutually beneficial relationship between the company and you who will work there.
As an employee, you are a company asset. Don’t hesitate to provide supporting data about your achievements at your old workplace that is relevant for the new company.
Remain confident in your achievements in front of the interviewer.
Calm
There’s no need to get excited, those who are shy must remain calm during the negotiation process. Make companies think that they need you as an employee much more.
With that, you can also submit a salary offer that meets your expectations.
Practice, practice and practice
Being nervous and having difficulty expressing feelings is normal for shy people. Practice speaking up during negotiations.
You can ask a colleague to help you carry out a simulation or train yourself.
