It's no secret that the job market can be tough — especially during economic downturns, but that doesn't mean you should settle for less than what you're worth. In fact, it's more important than ever to negotiate fair compensation and work arrangements. After all, those details can be the deciding factors between you enjoying or loathing your job.  Mori Taheripour, a negotiating expert and author, explains in the latest episode of the Get Hired podcasts that people shouldn't forget their humanity when in negotiations. Her approach starts with self-reflection and she frames bargaining from the perspective of human connections. Taheripour explains that negotiating isn’t just something we do in business settings. We actually negotiate multiple times a day — at work, at home and everywhere in between.  This episode covers how to prepare for the negotiation process, and effectively communicate your value to potential employers. Taheripour will also talk about the importance of being flexible and creative in your negotiations, and how to navigate common obstacles and objections that may arise. Whether you're currently job searching or just want to brush up on your negotiation skills, this episode is for you.
