Job Offers
Evaluating a Job Offer?
Once you receive a job offer, you must evaluate the offer carefully - is this the job you really want? Fortunately, most organisations will not expect you to make a decision immediately, although within the current market a quick decision is favourable.
There are many issues to consider when assessing a job offer.
- Will the organisation be a good place to work?
- Does the organisation's core business match your ethics and interests?
- Will the job be interesting and fulfilling?
- Are there opportunities for career development?
- Is the salary and benefits fair and in line with market guidelines?
- What are the hours of work and location?
- Is there much travel involved?
- Have you met your future manager and team?
- Have you visited the workplace? Does the work environment meet your needs?
