The employer wants you to be happy, but it is up to you to articulate what will give you the greatest job and personal satisfaction.
The course will cover:
- The Value of your TRICARE Benefit
- Composition of Employee Benefits Packages
- Preparing for Salary Negotiation
- When to Talk Money
- How to Respond to Salary Questions
- Evaluating the Salary Offer
- Closing the Deal
