First Job Offer Reminders

Your second job interview is finally over, and the phone call you've been waiting for comes. The dream job of your life is going to be a reality. But the question now is to take or not to take the job. There are many factors that need to be considered before jumping into an entry-level job that may appear great on the outside. Some things to consider:

  • Turnover rate
  • Company mission statement
  • Benefits package
  • Days open and work hours
  • Work environment
  • Promotion opportunities
  • Location
  • Salary

Each of these issues can make an employee very satisfied or extremely miserable. The worst thing to happen to a new gradute is to be taken advantage of on their first entry-level job. On a positive note, the company usually lets the interviewee have a few days to make a decision. A career should be challenging, but not completely burdensome. Although the temptation to accept the first job that comes is hard to say no to, working at a horrible company, or better yet a failing company is even harder.
