Describe the labor conditions in your expected industry; is there a surplus or a dearth of labor? How does the supply and demand affect your bargaining power? What can you do to negotiate a higher job offer or a raise in current conditions? Do you have any experiences, qualifications, or other characteristics you might be able to use as leverage? What other advice or information can you share about current conditions and the job applicant? Is the Harvard Business Review article (See Required Reading) still good advice, even though it was written pre-COVID?
