## Resource

Interview Prep with Fexingo tackles one of the most dreaded behavioral questions: 'Tell me about a time you negotiated.' Lucas and Luna break down why this question trips up even experienced candidates and offer a concrete framework called the 'Three-Layer Negotiation' to structure your answer. They walk through a real-world example of a marketing manager who negotiated a vendor contract extension with better terms, showing how to layer in compensation, relationship, and process. Learn how to avoid the common trap of telling a story where you 'won' at the other party's expense, and instead demonstrate strategic thinking. Plus, a quick note on how listener support keeps the show ad-free. #Negotiation #BehavioralInterview #InterviewTips #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #SalaryNegotiation #HiringManager #InterviewPrep #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Careers #ProfessionalDevelopment #SoftSkills #NegotiationSkills #JobInterview #InterviewQuestions #CareerGrowth #CommunicationSkills Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
