Receiving a job offer is a wonderful feeling, and the highlight of a long and often painful job search process.  You may be tempted to accept the offer as is and be done with it.  But no matter how generous the offer, there will always be something to discuss and negotiate. 

This workshop will help identify what you can negotiate (much more than just salary), and how to conduct a positive, professional negotiation that leaves both parties happy.  It will also provide tips on related topics such as when you are asked to provide your requirements first, and how to approach renegotiations once already in a position. 

The session will begin with a presentation from a professional career consultant, followed by panelists who will talk about their own experiences and advice from both sides of the negotiating table.

Who Should Attend

This session is intended for a broad audience, and is open to people at all career levels and job functions who are interested in gaining valuable insight into this critical process for career success.
