Guidance on Negotiating Terms of Employment

Menu of Services Career assessment Investigating professional options Revising resumes and tailoring materials Developing a customized search plan Improving networking and interviewing skills Guidance on negotiating terms of employment

Negotiating a change to your terms of employment can be a risky proposition, and many attorneys-while very comfortable representing their clients' interests-have difficulty representing their own. Similarly, having an offer in hand can skew the perspective of any job applicant. There can be a strong pull to accept without stepping back to consider how well the specific terms fit your needs. Whether you are negotiating within your current job or considering an offer, Neville Career Consulting provides coaching on how to maximize your terms of employment by:

• Analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of specific compensation packages and how they fit with your identified priorities
• Strategizing about salary negotiations
• Identifying and proposing alternative terms of employment, such as flexible schedules, part-time status, additional vacation days, criteria for bonuses, timing of performance reviews, etc.
• Looking at the career move from a long-term perspective and identifying potential options for advancement
