Please note: This is a live-only virtual event. No recording will be shared afterward to respect attendees’ privacy and to encourage open and candid conversation.
Why this topic matters
The key to negotiations success is knowing how to handle things before they even begin.
Too often, people negotiate on the fly or without strategic forethought, and they give away leverage without even realizing it. This often results in candidates receiving initial job offers that are lower than what they could have been.
It's essential to have a personalized game plan in place before negotiations even begin to avoid accidentally giving away your leverage. This session will guide you in building your personal negotiations strategy now so that you're not leaving money on the table later.
