Managing Job Offers and Salary Negotiation

Congratulations! You have been offered an internship or a job. Now what?

After receiving a job offer, you will have to evaluate and manage the offer while considering various factors and possible scenarios. You will need to know your motivators, as well as the things to look out for in an employment contract and remuneration package. The next step is to accept or reject the offer professionally and ethically and apply appropriate negotiation techniques to achieve the best package.

In this interactive workshop, expert trainer Clement Ong will guide you in navigating the complexities of managing job offers and salary negotiation through case studies, small group discussions and facilitated reflection. This session will include live discussions in the main room and breakout rooms, where you will work on a case study, respond with your solutions and will be given live expert feedback.

In this workshop, you will learn to:

• Identify your motivators and effectively evaluate employment contracts and remuneration packages
• Professionally and ethically handle multiple job offers, mastering the essential Dos and Don’ts
• Learn the Dos and Don’ts in salary negotiation and develop effective responses to salary-related inquiries
