You've Gotten The Job Offer: Now What? (How Insiders Get Jobs: 6-Mini-Course Series) (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Congratulations for getting the job offer! However, you are not finished yet. You still have to negotiate your compensation package. Compensation package? Negotiate? That’s right. You do not want to say, “Yes!” to the job offer or sign anything until (1) you know what is being offered with that job (besides your salary) and (2) you’ve discussed and negotiated this compensation package with the company to your liking. Depending upon the level of this job, compensation, other than salary, may include only the basics, such as healthcare insurance, or may include special perks, such as stock options—with many possibilities in between. All jobs are not created equal AND all jobs under the same label or category are not necessarily created equal. This is why you need to have researched your own worth in the current job market as well as what was being offered for that level job at that particular company or in that industry (as suggested in e-book #2, “Why Do I Have to Research the Job Market?”). Likewise, you need to have already determined what your personal and work needs and wants, your personal and work-life values and preferences are to see if they fit what the job package offers (as assessed in e-book #1, “What Are You Really Looking For in a Job?”). It is essential that you decide ahead of time, before the offer is made, what you want, what you don’t want, and what you’re willing to compromise on in a negotiation. Your objective is to have your job offer compensation package after negotiation conform as closely as possible to what your needs and wants in the job before you say, ”Yes.” “You’ve Gotten the Job Offer: Now What?” is the sixth and final e-book in the 6 mini-course series: “How Insiders Get Jobs.” This guide describes what you may be offered as compensation. It details how to consider each aspect of the package based upon your values, preferences, needs, and wants. Moreover, It gives you tips on negotiating—what to say and do—in order to get most of what you want. It also suggests what else you need to do before signing the contract. To make the job offer a win-win for you and the company, each of you has to get some of what you want. If you have worked on each mini-course in this series of six prior to your negotiation, you have known what to expect at each stage of the job-getting process and have prepared for it. You will have become much more confident in what you need and want to do to get what you need and want in a job. As a result, you will be much more likely to be successful in ultimately getting what you want!
