Negotiating Your First Job

Description

The Chamber is pleased to offer this special workshop to recent college grads  or college seniors who are just entering the workforce. Please share this with friends, colleagues and family who may know someone who could benefit from this workshop.



You've worked hard to get through your degree program and to ace all those job interviews and presentations. Now, you're either about to receive, or have already received, a job offer and you're not sure what to do. Maybe you've heard that you should negotiate your salary--or other important terms and conditions of employment--whether in a commercial firm or an academic setting. But, how? In this workshop, we share lessons and insights from years of real-world experience in job negotiations, sitting on both sides of the table. We've distilled our experience into practical lessons to help you get the best deal, in terms of salary, professional development, and conditions. We give you the tools to get you through this stage of your life. Here's a secret. We're going to help you get what you want and deserve in a way that will make your employer even more pleased to hire you!

Paul Levy provides negotiation advice to companies around the world and  has led several complex organizations during a multifaceted career. Farzana Mohamed is founder and principal of a consulting practice that advises organizations on change management, employee engagement, and process improvement. The two have coauthored a book, How to Negotiate Your First Job, which will be provided to attendees of the workshop as part of the registration fee.
