If I haven't asked all of the questions and received the answers to verify the position is a fit for me and my career path by the time an offer is made, then I haven't done my part and have wasted their time and mine! If I wanted an offer, I would have been asking them what else they needed to verify that I was the right choice and provided them anything necessary to get that offer. So YES! I would immediately accept the offer and thank them for selecting ME... and assure them that I will do everything I can to make them happy with their choice!!

Not personally, but I just offered a job to a candidate who wasn't able to accept because both of her parents were suddenly hospitalized and she had to travel to care for them.

Imagine this scenario: You receive an offer from one company, but you are hoping for an offer from another company next week. What's the best way to navigate that situation? Should you tell company #1 that you are waiting on another offer?

No you do not, You stay silent until you hear from the other one if your offered or not!! Let’s pretend here, for instincts you turn down the first offer and then you get a call back from the second offer and they decide to also decline you, now your screwed with no offers!! It’s always best to keep your second option open for backup life be really funny like that sometimes

I would listen to the terms and possibly negotiate if the original terms are not quite what I am looking for.

If I'd known that this matter had to be completed, though not assigned to me, I would have volunteered to get it done.

Raised on retail, former entertainment assistant, seeking new opportunities

If I ever walk away, it's usually because of a better offer. However, there was one time where a potential employer didn't mention that I'd have to work weekends until the job offer. Throughout the process, it was understood that the role was scheduled for Monday–Friday until the last possible minute.

Absolutely. I cannot work under management that sees me only as a body to fill a needed role. I won't work in a position that doesn't offer me the opportunity to be fully engaged in my role regardless of the money.

That's a tough one... I don't think I would tell company #1 about company #2, but I would have to tell them something to give myself more time. I feel like this happens almost every time I'm up for a job! It's a bit stressful, and you don't want to lie or leave a company high and dry...

It's a bit of a catch-22, until I get the second offer from another company, it'll be hard to officially give an answer to the first company. But I think we could negotiate by telling them the truth and let them know you are excellent.
