Introduction for negotiation

My name Jacob Shatzer, and I am a second semester senior scheduled to graduate at the end of this semester. I am Human Resource Management major and I am taking negotiation as a major elective. I am 25 years old and live in Chambersburg PA. I am a non traditional student in the fact that I did not go to college directly out of high school and took some time to figure out what I actually wanted to do with my life. I am very thankful that i made this choice, because I am confident that I am in the area of study that truly interests me. I am currently an intern at Volvo Construction Equipment in Shippensburg PA. I work in the Core Values Department, which has helped me learn the daily operations of a large scale company. I have been interested in taking this course since my first semester at Shippensburg. The whole concept is very interesting to me. Negotiation is something that I have never excelled in. I feel like this class will be very beneficial to many aspects in life. As i approach the "real world" there will be many aspects of life that will need to be negotiated from starting salaries all the way to negotiating a price for my first house. I feel that this class will help aid this process. I look forward to learning all these skills and having a great semester!
