Self-confidence means accepting oneself and knowing one's own worth. To act confidently in job searches, analyzing your own strengths and areas of expertise can be useful. Reflect on what you excel at, what qualifications you possess, and how you can contribute to your future job.

Mastering the Job Interview

  • Practice in front of a mirror and pay attention to your body language.
  • Feeling nervous in a job interview is completely normal. Smile to exude self-assurance. Choose appropriate clothing in which you feel comfortable - you shouldn't have to "pretend."
  • Know your worth in salary negotiations. Use our salary calculator for more confidence in your salary expectations!
  • Don't be afraid of failures, as every attempt is a valuable experience.

Developing Self-Confidence in Everyday Life

  • Learn to say "no" and stand by your convictions.
  • Laughing humorously about yourself increases your charisma.
  • Think positively and maintain an open attitude towards others.

Rebuilding Self-Confidence After Termination:

  • Check notice periods and your rights.
  • Actively search for new job opportunities and take the chance to consciously consider what you want from your job and what hasn't worked well in your previous job.
  • Use criticism as a learning opportunity and look forward to a new chapter.

Exercises For More Confidence:

  • Ask someone for the time every day.
  • Sit in the front row at events and practice eye contact.
  • Approach someone on the street and give them a compliment.
