Recommendation

On the surface, this is an extremely basic book, but it includes some gems about negotiating and closing techniques. These short, concise lessons could prove very valuable. Author Roger Dawson lists 23 closing techniques, 16 tactical gambits and several good ideas on preparing for negotiations. He covers the journey you must take to get to your first salary negotiation - from sending in your resume to mastering the job interview - and he explains how to get more money when you are promoted. His style is chatty and straightforward, and you can easily apply his techniques. The trick is to deploy them at the right times. Experienced negotiators can skip the first few chapters and get right to the meatier strategies. getAbstract recommends this manual to anyone who negotiates salary deals of any kind.

Take-Aways

  • The primary goal behind your resume is to get the job interview.
  • The employer’s purpose at the interview is to discover if you are a problem-solver, assess your skills and see if you fit into the corporate culture.
  • If you get a salary offer that is lower than what you expected, tell the employer, "You can do better." Ask for a face-to-face meeting to negotiate.
