Preparing <strong>For</strong> Follow-Up Calls And Contract Negotiations<br />
It is important to prepare for any follow up calls or contract discussions with your<br />
potential employers. In both situations you should prepare a script to ensure the<br />
call is efficient and effective.<br />
You will find plenty of example scripts and templates for every<br />
possible type of call in the I Got Hired TM toolkit. It should be<br />
easy as you are just reconfirming your interest in the role,<br />
thanking them for their time and asking if they need any<br />
more information from you or if there is anything else at this<br />
stage that you could do to help them.<br />
Contract talks require a lot of preparation and you would be<br />
ill-advised to enter talks about your terms and conditions<br />
of employment without detailed planning. This involves<br />
reviewing professional online salary surveys (multiple sources will have more credibility with<br />
the potential employer) and establishing a clear and reliable picture of the going rate for<br />
your role and your net worth as an employee. You can then present this information to your<br />
employer if you find you need to negotiate a higher salary.<br />
In addition to salary you may need to prepare or negotiate other terms - if you need some<br />
form of flexible working for example. The offer stage is the time to try to negotiate these<br />
things because if you leave it until after you have signed the contract, you will effectively have<br />
accepted the employer’s terms and will be in a much weaker negotiating position. This is why<br />
it pays to prepare in advance for your contract negotiations so you can bring any issues to the<br />
table before you commit to the contract.<br />
Module 5 of I Got Hired TM , ‘Closing the Deal’, walks you<br />
through the follow up process and exactly how the<br />
best recruiters in the world are trained to manage offer<br />
negotiations.<br />
<strong>Prepare</strong> Your Social Network Presence As<br />
Employers Expect To See It<br />
The world is digital and the world of recruitment leads<br />
the way in the use of digital platforms, tactics and<br />
strategies. To be an effective job seeker you must<br />
understand how, why, when and where these new<br />
strategies will support and promote your job-hunt.<br />
