*Negotiating Job Offers*
*Monday, Oct 6, 2:00-3:00pm*
The Negotiating Job Offers workshop presented by Colin Smith will 
examine the many variables that exist during the evaluation and 
negotiation process of Job Offers. Knowing how, when and why you should 
negotiate will be reviewed. Salary vs. Total Compensation will be 
examined.  Strategies on the negotiation process will be discussed along 
with "Should You Negotiate?" and "What Can" and "What Can Not" be 
negotiated. These strategies can be used throughout your career. All 
GECD events are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, 
and alumni. Advanced registration requested via CareerBridge:

*The Art of Behavioral Interviewing*
*Tuesday, Oct 7, 3:00-4:30pm*
While your technical skills will get you the interview, it is your 
behavioral attributes that will get you the job. This session presented 
by Bob Dolan will discuss preparation and strategies for a successful 
interview.  In addition, sample behavioral interview questions will be 
provided along with tips on how to answer these tough questions. All 
GECD events are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, 
and alumni. Advanced registration requested via CareerBridge:

*Writing Compelling Cover Letters*
*Wednesday, Oct 8, 1:00-2:00pm*
This workshop presented by Christina Henry will teach attendees how to 
craft a strategic cover letter.  Participants should bring a job 
description they want to apply for to aid in the drafting of an 
effective cover letter.  General information on cover letters will also 
be discussed. All GECD events are open to MIT undergraduates, graduate 
students, postdocs, and alumni. Advanced registration requested via 
CareerBridge: _https://www.myinterfase.com/mit/student_
*Off the Record: Tech Recruiting with A9*
*Wednesday, Oct 8, 3:00-4:30pm*
Join us for an off-the-record conversation with a Silicon Valley Tech 
Recruiter. Sometimes students are at a disadvantage by not understanding 
the campus recruitment process from an employer's perspective. The talk 
will be geared towards explaining how recruitment across the tech 
industry works, while revealing common misconceptionsthat students have 
about the hiring process. The goal is for students to walk away from the 
talk with immediate action items that they can apply to their own job 
search now or in the future. The event will be 45 minutes of interactive 
conversation and then open Q&A. All GECD events are open to MIT 
undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and alumni.

workplace, interviewing styles and brief cover letter/resume tips. This 
session will focus specifically on challenges many international 
students may face when searching for a job and interviewing. All GECD
