ACS 2019: Getting What you Want: The Art of Negotiation

Often, once an individual receives a coveted job offer, the hard work really starts. Negotiating the tenets of a job contract can be a stressful and daunting experience. There are a number of reasons that people are unsuccessful in negotiations or even fail to negotiate. In this presentation, I will use an interactive format to give attendees a head start when faced with job negotiations. The focus will be on learning some basic concepts in negotiation as well as how to overcome some of the barriers to successful negotiations.

SPEAKER:

• Jay Hewlin, Esq., J.D. (Faculty Lecturer, Desautels School of Management)
