The Golden
Rule of
Negotiation
17. Never Take
The First Offer
• Recruiters expect
you to negotiate.
• If the number they
offer doesn’t meet
the compensation
package you
researched, come
back with a
specific counter
offer.
18. Stick to a
Script
“Not only do I have
[all the standard
requirements that
everyone else has] +
but I also possess
[the following unique
traits that make me a
better candidate and
worth more money].”
