3M Auditorium, CSOM

Registration required!
If you merely accept a job offer without negotiating your pay, you may be leaving money on the table. In fact, many employers expect candidates to negotiate and are surprised when people don’t even ask. Steve Helland brings 18 years of experience as a corporate lawyer negotiating on behalf of companies and will discuss in practical terms: why you should negotiate, how-to and guidelines for successful salary negotiations, common mistakes and a few horror stories, what the employer is thinking, and common myths and why they are false. This session is open to everyone but is aimed at job seekers who are less experienced with salary negotiations or are uncomfortable with these negotiations.

Are you wondering....
Q: How is this different than the Health Careers Fair which takes place every fall?
A: The Health Interprofessional School Fair is different in a few ways. 
1. It is being co-hosted by an undergraduate student organization, Interprofessional Pre-Health Students.
2. It will also include a number of other medical schools, pharmacy schools, and other health professional programs from outside the state.
3. It will have a narrower focus, with not as many different health career options to explore. This event is maybe better suited for students who know that pharmacy (etc.) is the field they are heading towards, and will be able to connect with admissions representatives from other pharmacy (etc.) schools, however it will be open to all!
Q. Will the Health Careers Fair happen this year?
A: Yes, the Health Careers Fair will return ​in the fall on October 14, 2015.
Q: Will the Health Interprofessional School Fair come back next year?

A: Not exactly, but another (similar) exciting event will happen instead! In 2016, the national meeting of the National Association of Advisors for Health Professions (NAAHP) is coming to Minneapolis from June 15-19, 2016. Woohoo! During that conference, there is typically a Meet the Deans program on the Saturday afternoon - looking ahead to 6-18-16 - for students to meet with visiting school representatives. More information on this event will be available as the meeting approaches.


Health Interprofessional School Fair
Tuesday, March 31
11:00am - 3:00pm
Coffman Union, Great Hall

Speak to admissions representatives from health professional programs from around the country!
