Evaluating and Negotiating Job Offers, Friday, October 28, 10:00-11:30am in the OCS Conference Room.  Can you still negotiate in a tough economic market? Yes! Evaluating compensation packages and determining whether and how to negotiate is often the most stressful part of the job search for students. Lack of negotiation experience, unfamiliarity with the expectations and assumptions, and the commitment inherent in accepting an offer, all present an imposing situation. In this workshop, we will discuss what you should look for in a compensation package and how to negotiate with confidence.
