I have always been told that a company will wait for you to accept a position, if you are truly the right candidate for the job. Is this still true? After a few carrots have been dangled for the taking, I am trying my best not to make a snap decision for the pure sake of employment. However, it is a very competitive job market out there! I know others are chomping at the bit for opportunities that I have been offered… So, can you still afford to wait on accepting a position?
I want to choose the right direction for my next professional step in life. I want to have the ability to grow with the position and the company. However, this decision requires a fair amount of thought, research, and interviewing (which all take time!).
What happens when one of those cycles ends before another and you are stuck saying, “Mr. Employer, can I wait to respond to your offer? I really like this job and company, but want to make sure I am weighing all my options.” My hope is they respect your thoughtful consideration and will see this as a strength to be applied to your potential job.
This is only day 5 of my unemployment streak and I’m already antsy to get back out in the work force. I don’t want to lose a good thing, but also don’t want to pass up checking out other potential opportunities. Yikes! What to do…
Shout outs to:
1. @mjsearcher: for the career search tips!
2. My mom: for her constant support and encouragement. She’s great. 
3. CNN news: for their ridiculous coverage of the tea parties. They act like these things should be against the law because it’s FOX news supported. haha
What'cha thinkin?
