Professional Job Search Workshop Series for Social Workers: Compensation Negotiation

Presented by Associate Professor Anna Haley

How do I pay my bills on a social work salary? Isn't negotiating going to look pushy? When do I negotiate? What can I ask for, and how do I do that?  Learn key negotiation concepts and concrete techniques for securing a strong compensation package. 

This event is part of a four-part series designed to prepare upcoming and recent social work graduates with tools for successful professional job searches, including writing great resumes and cover letters; interviewing to put your best self forward; negotiating compensation packages to "do well while doing good," and understanding the complexities of career job benefits (like how health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off work). Having trained social work students, alums, and professionals on job search strategies for the last 25 years, Professor Haley will review key strategies in these sessions as well as take participant questions.

All sessions will be recorded.
