Networking Wednesday: Discussing money matters

Join WIFVNE Member Erica Brookhyser as she leads this WIFVNE Networking Wednesday session. Let's lift each other up, share resources, put forth ideas, provide feedback, and make connections.

Many members are open to work, actively looking for freelance work, contemplating changing jobs, educating themselves, developing their passions, and planning for productions.

Imagine you're at a film event, and someone you meet in the refreshments line finds out that you do exactly the kind of work that she needs. She's ready to HIRE YOU on the spot, and asks what you charge/your salary requirements. Ideally, you already have some follow-up questions and a price/salary quote in mind. Also you're as cool as a cucumber talking about the experience you bring and the value you'll add to the project. By the time you've gotten your drinks at the counter, you're raising a toast to your new job!

In reality, most of us are not experienced negotiators, and some of us don't even know what we would charge for our time or services. And being cool and self-possessed while discussing money matters can be a challenge in the best of times, but especially if you're in desperate need of work.

Join us Wednesday, June 9th at 10am ET as we explore how we think and talk about money as it relates to our lines of work.

Prior to this event, WIFVNE recommends that members update their Member Profile in the Member Directory, so connections can become collaborators!
