  15. Can I negotiate? • Within reason • Look at market (salary.com) • Look at overall package (leave, retirement, etc.) • Request an extension to the offer • Be truthful and factual • Negotiate non salary items (travel, relocation costs, tuition, etc.)

Respond to all offers… • Acceptance Letter • Know terms and conditions • Background check, Drug Screening, Security Clearance • Effective date of employment and salary in writing! • Ask about probationary periods and what they mean! • Ask about funding!!! • Declination Letters • Thank them for the opportunity!!! Keep you in mind in the future!!!

  17. Quotes, Questions and Handouts… I can't imagine anything more worthwhile than doing what I most love. And they pay me for it. Edgar Winter What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.  Julia Cameron
