About this simulation

A 90-minute, 4-round Express simulation in the learner's own chair on negotiating a start date: how to ask for six weeks between jobs once you have an offer, for lifelong-learning, career-transition and executive-education alumni programmes.

Irene Lalaguna (a fictional senior buyer at a fictional Zaragoza hardware maker, Herrajes Ruesta) is offered the post of purchasing lead at a fictional Bilbao rolling-stock supplier, Arraiz Movilidad, from 1 March, while her family moves to Bilbao and her daughter's new school starts on 12 April.

You decide when you raise the date and what you know before you ask, how you ask and what you put in writing, what you answer to the counter-proposal and what you sign before you resign, and how you serve your notice and use the weeks between jobs.

Scored on how settled the agreement is, the chance you start with everything settled, the money of the move, rest and family, the relationships with the new and the old employer and open risk; inventing a notice period or taking money from a supplier you will negotiate with caps the score. Spanish with English.
