Summaries

Summary Sentence: This workshop will focus on helping graduate students to navigate the interview process, and strategize on how to effectively answer questions by articulating strengths and skills.

Full Summary: We will be outlining tips, information to gather, and questions to ask, to help you effectively navigate the job offer negotiation process. Many job seekers view a job offer only as the amount of salary an employer extends. It is important to understand that the job offer is a comprehensive package of benefits, which include insurance, vacation, sick time or PTO (paid time off) 401K/retirement plan. Other factors include location, possible bonuses, profit sharing, and promotional opportunities. The job offer negotiation process requires gathering information about yourself, your target sector, and the employer, and having conversation with the employer.
