Negotiate a salary
You are a candidate who has been offered the role of Senior Marketing Manager. The salary is lower than you expected based on your research. Your goal is to negotiate a higher figure and better terms — politely, with data and clear reasons. Begin by acknowledging the offer, then state your counter, justify it, and try to reach a compromise. Use at least three of the hedging phrases you have practised.
