The ICAEW Guide to Successful Job Search

Episode 10: Handling the offer and negotiation stage

In the final podcast of The ICAEW Guide to Successful Job Search series, host Simon Gray, FCA, offers advice on how to negotiate the best deal after being offered a position.

To create the ICAEW Guide to Successful Job Search, ICAEW worked with Simon Gray, author of ‘Super Secrets of Successful Executive Job Search’ and founder of Career Codex, in addition to experts from across the recruitment and business world to share their knowledge of how to find and secure the job you want.

In Episode 10, ‘Handling the offer and negotiation stage’, Gray discusses how to succeed in the final step of your job search.

He shares his insights, as a business owner and former recruiter, of the power shift that takes place once a job offer has been made, and describes how employers feel at this stage.

Gray goes on to advise on how to receive a job offer properly and how to go about negotiating a better package.

In this podcast Gray is joined by:

  • Sally Adams, Acting Chief Financial Officer at Electrocomponents Plc;
  • Andrew Clark, Finance Director at Costa Enterprises; and
  • Jonathan Firth, Managing Director Michael Page Finance.
