Welcome to our inspire | connect | act Career series. PCDNetwork’s mission for 2017 is to get you from passion to hired and to help you grow as a professional with purpose.
The last Thursday of every month, PCDNetwork hosts a webinar dedicated to the topic of the month. Click for more info here on our amazing year of events.
May's Webinar will focus on the key issue of You got the job offer now what? The session will address everything from deciding whether to accept the offer, to how to best negotiate a salary, to how make your first few months in a new job a success.
All too often people don't take time to think through if a job offer is the right match before saying yes or no, while successful salary negotiations can make a huge difference over the course of one's career. Join three leading experts who will share their insights based on their personal successes (and lessons from failure as well) as well as their interactions with hundreds of employers. There will also be ample time for open discussion with the webinar participants.
See our May Career blog series postings on this topic for more resources.
The event is free to everyone, we have limited space so reserve here and share with others. The session will take place on the Zoom webinar platform. Participants will be provided with the login info prior to the event.
When: May 25, 2017
Time: 2 pm EST*
