CAREER LIVE

Stop guessing and start building. One page changes everything. What if you could map your entire business, including customers, revenue, operations, and all on a single page in under an hour?

This session covers strategies for leaving a positive, memorable impression throughout your job search—from initial networking to the final interview. You'll learn effective communication techniques, how to ask for help professionally, and ways to showcase your skills and value through your resume, online presence, networking efforts, and interview performance.

This Veterans Career Live session confronts the costly habit of accepting the first offer, which can cost a veteran up to $1 million over their lifetime as future raises and bonuses compound off that initial number. Military pay is non-negotiable, so service members have never been trained to ask — and civilian employers count on that silence. The presentation walks participants through the full negotiation process, including how to research a fair market salary using free tools, what to say when employers ask for a number first, how to construct a counter-offer that actually moves the needle, and what to negotiate beyond base pay (sign-on bonuses, PTO, remote work, equity, and education stipends). Attendees will learn how to handle common employer tactics, the 24-hour rule that prevents accepting offers too quickly, and exactly what scripts to use to add 7-15% to their next job offer.
