3. How to seal the deal
When you’re at peace with the final offer, contact the employer. Verbally state the agreed salary and benefits and provide the date when you can begin working.
Get it in writing
It is customary to receive an employment contract, or letter of hire, which outlines all of the details of your salary, benefits and work hours. Do not begin work without written confirmation of all the details to which you both have agreed. Verbal offers sometimes can be withdrawn, and terms of employment, salary, and benefits can change. If the employer does not provide a contract in writing, create a confirmation letter or email of your own, outlining all of the terms that were mutually agreed on.
By being prepared and gaining experience with negotiating, you’ll build your confidence and demonstrate great communication and relationship building.
