Getting In & Getting Paid: Resume to Offer Negotiation Masterclass
About This Event
Your resume is perfect. Your LinkedIn is optimized. You've applied to 50 jobs this month.
So why aren't you getting interviews? And when you finally do get an offer, why does the salary feel... low?
Most career advice skips the parts that actually matter: getting past the gatekeepers and negotiating like you mean it. This workshop fixes that.
Join us for a no-BS masterclass where two industry experts break down exactly what stops your applications cold, what hiring managers are really looking for in interviews, and how to negotiate your worth without the awkwardness.
What You'll Learn
✅ The resume mistakes costing you interviews – What HR actually sees in the first 10 seconds
✅ How to answer behavioral questions – Without oversharing or underselling yourself
✅ Reading between the lines of offer letters – Spot red flags in equity, probation, and "culture fit" clauses
✅ Negotiation scripts that work – Push back on lowball offers (politely but firmly)
✅ Live resume critiques & role-play – Practice with real feedback from an HR expert
