The Power of AAUW Membership

Free salary negotiation training: Work Smart Online

Work Smart Online is a free salary negotiation course to help women better their financial future. This easy, engaging e-tool will teach you to:

• Learn the market value of your skills and experience
• Determine an equitable “target salary”
• Ask for—and get—the pay you deserve

Here’s the best part: The program works! In surveys with our participants, nearly all reported having more confidence and improved negotiating skills after taking the class. After attending a Work Smart program, nearly half of the participants were able to negotiate for a raise, promotion, or higher-paying job.
