Marketing Yourself Professionally: The Two-Minute Infomercial
Thursday, November 17, 5:30-7pm
It takes more to get a job than a resume! Learn to communicate your strengths, accomplishments, and career goals in a powerful and concise manner by creating a “verbal” marketing piece. This technique works when networking, exploring career options, and interviewing.

Negotiate Salary and Benefits: Clinch the Compensation You Deserve!
Friday, November 18, 11am-12pm
Do you know what you are worth? Close to 90% of workers rate salary as the most important factor in deciding whether to accept a job. Learn how to research salaries for your geographic area and career field, what to do when an employer asks for a salary range or history, and tips for negotiating benefits. The key is preparation, since the only time you have real power with an employer is when you get the job offer!
