Did you know that the salary of your very first job after graduation determines your salaries for the rest of your life? Learn the basics of how to create a win-win situation and negotiate right from start to finish in the job decision process. Clarifying your needs and wants, and those of the other party are key. The negotiation skills you learn are valuable in that they can be applied to any situation in your professional (and even personal) life.

Student-to-Professional Continuum Survey

Please take a few moments to share your thoughts about what methods you think are best for attracting students to geoscience university programs, retaining students through their academic careers and also helping them transition into geoscience careers.
