at every step of the recruiting process. You'll learn how to:
Get Your Phone Ringing
You'll learn how to answer the "Salary Requirement" questions in applications in a way that gets you into more phone screens without painting yourself into a corner.
Build Value in Interviews
You'll learn how to differentiate yourself in interviews as a high-value candidate, improving your chances for a first-place finish and a maximized offer.
Negotiate in Phone Screens
Recruiters will pressure you for a salary number before you've even interviewed. You'll learn how to avoid this trap easily and upgrade your offer later.
Negotiate at Offer Stage
You'll learn how to identify when there is room for negotiation, how to get a signing bonus included, and how to effectively close with the best offer they'd be willing to give.
