Networking and interviewing are critical components of the job search and career elevation process; however, they also can be difficult and require practice. One key tool for successful networking and interviewing is a prepared elevator pitch. As part of your final presentation, you have been asked to integrate a revised 30-second elevator pitch, tailored to the specific opportunity that you want to pursue. This discussion assignment provides the opportunity for you to share a draft of your revised pitch with peers and receive feedback so that you can refine your final product.
This discussion post also asks you to begin to think about negotiating an employment offer. While a job offer is an exciting next step, you will want to be prepared to negotiate if appropriate. In order to do this, you need to have conducted your own research and reflected on your acceptance conversation. The resources required for this assignment provide guidance on how to negotiate your salary in your next professional opportunity.
