#BlackInNeuroCareers

Friday, July 28, 2023

This day will help our attendees demystify the process of entering the job market and learn how to best advocate for themselves along the way. One of the most difficult parts of that process can be salary negotiation, so we’ll dedicate a workshop to gaining practical tools to ask for what you want and need.
