You have been job hunting for a while, been on multiple interviews and have now heard the magic words, “We want to make an offer” or “We’ll have the offer to you (tomorrow/in a few days/next week). Maybe they’ve already made the offer and it’s a little low. Maybe you just want to feel more comfortable talking money during your interviews and not be quite so nervous.
You know the HR person is not your friend and neither is the hiring manager. They are there to evaluate and assess you, not to help you get you the most they can. The agency recruiter? We know they are representing their interests (getting a fee) and their corporate client’s interests (the people who are paying them). After all, if you accept the position, they are getting a big payday.
You need to understand how to advocate for yourself.
Purchase 2 30-minute sessions with me.
The first will help you get ready for the negotiation. I’ll learn about the situation you’re in, what you’ve been told so far and how to mentally prepare for the encounter.
The second will help you be ready for when they try to counter with less money than you want or try to strategize about next steps.
Most importantly, unlike a corporate or agency recruiter, you’ll receive advice from someone who doesn’t have an interest in whether you accept a particular job because he has a fee associated with that job.
I work for you.
As someone who worked in search for many years, I successfully negotiated many job offers and successful hires (more than 1200 full time plus consulting assignments were successfully negotiated) and coached many more starting promising new roles.
I can’t guarantee that you will be successful. After all, we can’t control their budget or correct miscues that occurred on interviews.
I can make sure you have advice that can get you ready for your negotiation and provide your best chance for success.
Plus you will receive a video of our session so you can practice what we talk about.
We only charge $325. You will be billed prior to our session. Payment must be made in advance.
Jeff is a knowledgeable and sincere career coach. Not only was he always available, he has a true understanding of the dynamics of recruitment, job hunting, offer negotiation and my industry as a whole. Please reach out to him if you need guidance in the areas I mentioned above. You will not be disappointed.
I was in the middle of a job transition where one position was ending due to end of contract with customer, but I had two possibilities: one with a contingent offer that would start the following Monday, and one full offer with an original start date 2 weeks later. Jeff gave me sound advice, reassuring me which choice is the right one. In fact, the organization from whom I have accepted the offer agreed to bump my start date 2 weeks earlier from the original date, thus giving me a continuous employment flow, just changing organizations over the weekend. I hope to seek advice from him via his YouTube videos as well as his LinkedIn when it comes to my career. Thank you so much for your sound advice Jeff.
I am in middle of career transition and I recently reached out to Jeff before an important interview. In one hour Jeff was able to help me become well-prepared and he covered lots of important information that really helped me in a lot of ways. He gauges and understands the problem really well and then accordingly provide you with the correct guidance. He is really good with career coaching and I would totally recommend him going forward.
The skills needed to find a job are different than those needed to do a job. Salary negotiations, even for consultants, is a skill that few have much experience with, let alone the variety of tactics I have learned from my time in search.
Admitting you need help and hiring an ally to prepare you is just smart.
Let me be that person who helps you at this key juncture.
