#165 Tackling The Fear Of Negotiation

The Joyful DVM Podcast: Empowering Veterinary Professionals

In this episode, Dr. Cari Wise discusses the fear of negotiation when looking for a new job.

She emphasizes the importance of approaching the job search and negotiation process with clarity and confidence.

Job seekers are encouraged to dispel the myth that they have to accept any offer and instead approach interviews with curiosity and a clear understanding of what they want in a position.

Dr. Wise advises job seekers to take the time to identify their preferences and deal breakers before going into interviews, and to negotiate for what they want, even if the initial offer does not meet their criteria.

The importance of being their own advocates and finding a middle ground that satisfies both parties is also highlighted.

Key takeaways:

1. Approach the negotiation process with clarity, confidence, and a willingness to advocate for what you want.
2. Have a clear understanding of what you want in a position before going into interviews
3. Remember it's a two-way experience- potential employees want jobs, and potential organizations want employees.
4. Take time in making a decision and do not feel pressured to accept an offer immediately.
