Complex situations when looking for work: how to make the right choice


The situation №1

You get an attractive job offer, but not from the company, which would very much like to work. The interview took place in the desired company recently, and since then you have not received a response. What to do? Accept the tempting offer or wait for a response from the "dream company"?
Decision

Regardless of whether you have got the desired response from the company or not, if you do not have an interest to work in the second "backup" of the company - refuse. Do it politely and do not tighten, even if the company continues to look for candidates.

However, if you present yourself well in the "reserve" of the company, consider the benefits "of dreams" - maybe they are not so great. It may be that to dismiss an attractive offer in return for a well-known name of the company - a bad idea.

Still not sure what action to take? Then contact the HR manager in the company's preferred and check all the questions that make you doubt. If they are still considering your candidacy, say that their company is in your priority, but there is another offer and you need to make a decision as quickly as possible.

If a company really wants to hire you, it'll make it quick. If it is still unsure, then it is better to choose a company that really interested you.
The situation №2

You accepted the job offer, but later found out that the salary to which you have agreed lower than the average in this area. Is it already too late to negotiate?
Decision

Of course, it is difficult to discuss such after the adoption of the proposal. However, if you find out exactly what amount of paid work in similar positions in your area, you can discuss it constructively.

Company representative reaction can tell a lot about the company. A good company will take the necessary steps so that you do not feel undervalued.

Not too put pressure on the employer, if you do not want to start a new job at loggerheads. If the company can not or do not want to raise your bid, estimate the prospects that await you and possible bonuses in the form of premiums or benefits.

You can also discuss the possibility of salary increase in, say, 6 months, prove that you deserve it. If you show yourself as a good employee and will generate a positive impression.

Regardless of how you deal with this situation in the future carefully studying the job offer.
The situation №3

You are invited for a second interview, to communicate more closely with the team in which you will work. Then you realize that you get used to the team and will be comfortable to work hard. Should I refuse the offer?
Decision

When evaluating the corporate environment to trust your intuition is quite logical. Networking and frequent interaction with the staff will greatly affect the productivity.

However, for a decision should better look into this matter. Try to communicate more closely with someone of the staff. You can also specify some questions from a hiring manager. For example, you can ask him to tell me about the corporate culture or the fact that he like most about working for this company.

Additional information that you have collected will help to better understand how you manage to get into the team.


These are just a few examples of complex situations that you may encounter during your job search. Just keep in mind that the most important variable in the equation to find is you. And once you determine your path.
