Let’s talk about a topic, that can feel uncomfortable: How do you negotiate the contract and the salary for your new job? This episode is also interesting for you, if you take the new year as the chance to re-negotiate your salary!

To solve this and to make sure that you get out with something satisfying, you need – first – full clarity what you want to have, and second how you argue for this.

Learn in this episode how you convince your employer to create for you the working conditions and salary level that turns your new job into your dream job! It is in your power!

When you apply for a job the most important part of the written application is the cover letter! Therefore, you should focus on quality instead of quantity – that means:

Choose only a few vacancies to apply for and invest time and effort to write a cover letter that stands-out, that highlights your skills and personality and contains the right arguments why YOU bring value to the company.

Writing cover letters was always my strength and I got invited to almost all job interviews for vacancies I had ever applied for.

Have you ever wondered how a cover letter looks like from a person that made it to the job interviews? Because when you often get rejected, you have doubts, what you should do differently. You wonder, what the others do differently, that are invited to the job interviews, while you are not.

But to my knowledge nobody has shared his or her cover letter so far when getting accepted for the job. I do it now. Together with this podcast I have published an e-book that you can download under this link for free:

https://www.michaela-kettner.coach/_files/ugd/03c541_46b36207d7fe410f9cd3006b3b97b481.pdf

It’s a pdf that contains four real-case examples. Four cover letters for which I got invited to the interviews and where I have added explanations why I have written the different sections in this way.

I hope you will find it helpful and inspiring!

If you would like to book a single session with me over one and a half hours to review and improve your own cover letter, please contact me via the formular on my website

As a woman in the late 20’s or early 30’s you can target to move abroad, take the next step in your career or even start your own business. If you have family members and friends with a very traditional mindset, you will hear things like “Sounds great – but when do you actually plan to get married and have kids???”

Does that hinder you to realize the vision that you have for yourself? Do you adjust to the picture of the others? Or do you follow your dreams, but feel bad, because this is not what is expected from you?

Imagine, all your friends would be successful entrepreneurs and you tell them that you are pregnant. The reaction that you get is: “Great, congratulations – but when do you actually plan to do the next big step in your career?!?” Different people, different mindset.

And nothing is right or wrong. But with this episode I would like to sensitize you to think about: Who are your closest people? What mindset are you adopting from them? And how can you choose the people you are surrounded by to be supportive for you.

What is your biggest dream? What is the target that you are really burning for? Do you allow yourself to dream big?

Having a dream and speaking it out loud, nevertheless, does not mean that it will realize immediately. It can be a long way to get where you want to be, which requires many small steps. But the way is worth going, if you know what your dream is, if you know what you would like to reach! Stick to it! Fight for it! We should all have dreams!

In this episode, you will find new perspectives how to keep motivated and how to keep the endurance to follow your dreams, whether it is losing weight, running a marathon or learning Finnish. And what the growth of bamboo has to do with that 😉.
