Job Interviews & Professional English
Negotiation is not about winning or being aggressive — it is about finding a solution that works for both sides. In English, the most effective negotiators are assertive but respectful. They state what they want clearly, provide reasons, and leave room for compromise. One of the most powerful techniques is strategic silence: after making your request, stop talking and let the other person respond.
