- Offer Negotiation and Acceptance Questions:
- I just received an offer from a company that I really like. However, another company just called and would like to do a phone interview. Any suggestions?
- I will likely be receiving an offer from the company I interned for, but other companies haven't yet begun interviewing on campus. How do I respond to this offer?
- I received a verbal job offer from a big company, but I still haven't received a formal letter a month later. Is it normal for the process to take this long?
- I got an offer from the company I worked for as an intern. Am I in a position to negotiate salary? Or should I just take what was offered?
- How do you negotiate an offer that is unacceptable in its present form?
- My second choice employer will likely make an offer a week before my final interview with my first choice employer. How do I handle this?
- I have an offer with a company that requires a drug test, but I'm also waiting for an offer from another company. By scheduling the drug test for the 1st offer, will I be automatically accepting the 1st offer?
- I've turned down two job offers because it's not exactly what I want--should I keep looking or just take what's being offered?
- What can a new hire expect when negotiating a relocation package?
- Why am I getting paid less than my boyfriend's sister, who has no college education and is working in a clerical position?
- Several things were committed to me verbally when the offer was made. Can I capture that information as part of my acceptance letter?
