The biggest challenge they face for many job seekers is addressing the “COMPENSATION QUESTIONS” during the job search process.
Whether on an application, a phone screen, a recruiter’s call, or in the interview, how does a potential candidate answer one or both of the following questions without hurting their chance of success?
“What was your previous salary?”
“What level of compensation are you looking for?”
Fearful of selling themselves short or pricing themselves out of a job, candidates often freeze when faced with these questions.
Fear no more… job seekers should attend the upcoming session, “How to Successfully Navigate Through the Compensation Minefield,” to gain insight into:
• A three-step approach that ensures their answers to the salary questions meet the employer’s needs as well as their own.
• How to respond to the salary questions during each phase of the selection process from application to interview.
• SPECIAL BONUS: Proven effective ways of negotiating offers that move the compensation needle in the job seeker’s direction.
In addition, attendees will have an opportunity to practice their responses and receive worksheet templates to personalize for their own job search efforts.
Job seekers should not miss out on this practical, hands-on session designed to enhance participants’ confidence and skills in dealing with the compensation phase of the job search process.
