My dream job post-graduation is to become a tour
manager. I love the idea of working with live music and traveling the world.
While the job would have perks, it would also come with its share of
challenges, including negotiating everything from artist riders to salaries to
what time the buses have to leave the venue. Because I have no experience in
negotiating, the idea of doing so on a daily basis can be pretty daunting.
Fortunately, there are several resources online that can help a novice
negotiator such as myself. I decided to watch videos about negotiating
techniques to prepare for future negotiations. Three videos I found extremely
helpful are Margaret Neale: Negotiation:Getting What You Want, William Ury:The walk from “no” to “yes,” and Negotiation in the Workplace.
