Getting Ready to Negotiate: What You Need to Know
Congratulations! You made it through all of the stages of the interview process and your dream company is making you a job offer. You’re on cloud nine until you get an email outlining your compensation package. It wasn’t what you anticipated. What do you do? In this module, you’ll receive resources to help you prepare to negotiate terms closer to your goals.
Your Goal & Prime Considerations
The goal of your negotiation is to ensure that you AND the other party part with smiles on your faces. In order to come to an optimal offer for both parties, you’ll need to carefully structure your negotiation plan. You’ll want to make sure your negotiation strikes the perfect balance. Don’t over-negotiate. This could cause the hiring party to re-evaluate their decision to hire you. You also don’t want to under negotiate – or leave items unaddressed. This will only haunt you and leave you wondering, “what if I had asked for more?” There is definitely an art to crafting a negotiation that strikes the right balance.
