September 14, 12 PM to 1 PM
Understanding the Gender Pay Gap and Establishing Your Salary Goals
The first of three workshops, this session will focus on understanding the gender pay gap, what it means for your earning potential, and the importance of negotiating a strong starting salary. Attendees will learn how to use public job and employment data to compare and evaluate a good starting salary based on the position they are seeking and how to utilize similar benchmarking practices to negotiate for it.

Determining Your Target Starting Salary
This workshop will build upon the first session by benchmarking and exploring the factors that determine what a good starting salary is for an individual's needs and goals. The second half of the session will feature a guest speaker from the Tucson community who will discuss their experience with benchmarking and negotiation preparation as well as answering questions from audience members.
September 28, 12 PM to 1:30 PM (may be shortened to 1 PM)
Making the Most of Your Interview and Negotiating Effectively
The final of three workshops, this session will focus on negotiation practices and strategies for you to get the best salary you can. Attendees will learn how interviews can set the stage for determining a starting salary, how to leverage employee benefits in the event your salary goal cannot be met, how to side step inappropriate interview questions in a professional manner, and how to conclude an interview to maximize your earning potential. The session will include opportunities to role play interviewing scenarios.
