PA Contract Negotiation Resources
With graduation season upon us, the next step is landing your first job. Some PA students choose to start the job search before passing the PANCE, and others wait before applying for jobs. It doesn’t hurt to start early, but don’t let the job search take your focus away from studying. There is nothing worse than having to tell an employer that you didn’t pass and will have to hold off on starting a new job.
There are several places to look for jobs, and I recommend using multiple sources. It also doesn’t hurt to talk to recruiters to find leads. Once you have a job offer, the next step is negotiating your contract. For tips on negotiating your contract, check out this article from CompHealth.
The first step in negotiating a contract is to know what you’re looking for in a job. What benefits are the most important to you? Start by writing this out and use the FREE PA-Cents Negotiation Worksheet to help you compare offers.
