After you have passed the job interview, you wait for the job offer to reach you. When it finally lands on your lap, you don’t accept it outright. This is the most crucial point in job hunting: evaluating the job offer.
A job offer tells you a lot about your potential employer, your competence and your value to the company. It also gives you an idea of what your job responsibilities will be as well as the salary you will get once you accept the job.
Some job offers are communicated over the telephone while other are sent through letters or even in person. Professionally speaking, it is proper to respond to a job offer within two to four days. This period of time is enough to weigh things and make an educated career decision.
