This workshop will discuss:

• Reasons for negotiating salary
• Getting the salary you are worth
• Things to consider before discussing money
• Considering the entire compensation package
• Asking for more when the offer is unacceptable
• Making a counter offer
• Accepting the job offer

To negotiate means to confer with another or others in order to come to terms or reach an agreement.

Why do it? There are several reasons:

• Most companies expect negotiation when they set the offer wages

• Future raises are based on starting salary

• Employers have a more favorable impression of employees who negotiate
(assuming their approach was professional)
• Lifetime earnings are significantly higher for those who negotiate

• You can make thousands of dollars in minutes

So, why wait? Learn now how to position yourself for making the most out of your career.
