Negotiation is a key professional skill that extends beyond salary discussions—it’s about understanding interests, communicating effectively, and advocating for the best possible terms for your career. In this workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of negotiation, including when and how to initiate a negotiation request, what candidates can negotiate for, and strategies for framing requests. The workshop will also cover negotiation specific to job offers, including negotiation during the interview process and common elements of job offers. You will also learn how to navigate common challenges, such as handling a "no," signaling a negotiation conversation via email, and maintaining professionalism if negotiations don’t go as planned. Additionally, we will examine considerations for international scholars. By the end of this session, you will have practical tools to advocate for yourself confidently in the job market.
