he final stages of moving jobs can be fraught with emotion and decision-making. Anthony McCormack offers 19 top tips to help you through what can be a tremendously difficult process.
You are the preferred candidate in a recruitment process and have been offered, or are soon expecting, an offer from a company you are hopefully interested in joining!
Well done.
So what now? Hope for the best and whatever it is, take it?
This very often seems to be the strategy taken by most people. But with my near 20 years of recruitment experience and success in negotiating literally hundreds of offers, this blog will give advice to navigate you through the minefield of a job offer – to help you get the right result!
#1: It’s not about the money
My first advice is, don’t make it all about the money – even if it is, actually, all about the money! If you are in dialogue with a company contact about an offer by phone or email, reinforce why you are interested in the role, why you will excel and that you are open to any reasonable and competitive offer. Companies want to offer and secure a candidate that remains interested and if the level of offer is still in debate, a reminder of how well you will do in the role is always a good idea!
