Have you ever left money on the table? Had a negotiation go badly? Not asked for more than that first offer? Learn what negotiation is, what’s in a hiring manager’s head, the do’s and don’ts, and other helpful tips. Our excellent panel will share their expertise. Then attendees will work in small groups to role play good negotiating, with our experts watching and offering advice.
