• Time: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
• Location: Microsoft New England R&D Center, One Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA 02142
• Audience: Professional and Collegiate Women Engineers
• Description:

  Topic Overview

  All interactions are basically negotiations. We negotiate for resources, time, goods and services, as well as, our compensation.  Salary negotiations are challenging, especially for women. Women are less likely than men to ask for what they deserve. The American Association of University Women (AAUW) research shows that one year after college graduation, women earn just 80% of their male counterparts. Women must understand their value to the market, be capable of articulating this value to an employer and negotiate a fair and realistic compensation.

  This workshop will address how women can successfully negotiate their salaries and compensation based on their skills, accomplishments and talents in the workplace.  Women will leave the interactive workshop with better tools and techniques to highlight their current and potential market value to employers and ultimately get the compensation they deserve.

This is great! Thanks for sharing this, Janet!

Coincidentally, the speaker is also someone I kind of know personally. :)

Is anyone interested in this? I mean, I already have a job, but it might still provide some good insight. We can get a group together!
