Biography
University of California Berkeley - Sociology
A highly experienced professor and negotiation expert, Ofer Sharone has taught at University of Massachusetts Amherst, MIT’s Sloan School of Management, and the Program on Negotiation. His research—which utilizes in-depth interviews and participant observations—focuses on how professionals make career decisions, search for jobs, use social media tools, and negotiate with employers.
His recently published book Flawed System/Flawed Self: Job Searching and Unemployment Experiences won the Zelizer Award in Economic Sociology and the Weber Award in Organizations, Occupation, Work. His current research with the Institute for Career Transitions garnered significant attention from the national media and led to an invitation from the White House and the Department of Labor to participate in policy discussions centering on long-term unemployment. Prior to joining academia, Sharone worked in the private sector as the lead negotiator and attorney for complex finance transactions in Japan, Indonesia, and the United States.
