ACCEPTING A JOB OFFER - QUESTIONS TO ASK

Accepting a Job Offer - 10 things to consider

Everybody is excited when they receive confirmation for a job they had eagerly awaited.After the tidious work of applying for the job,going for numerous types of interviews,waiting for the reply then finally the call comes in confirming the job offer.So how do you react to the job offer call?

The Job Offer

When you're initially offered the job, don't automatically accept-even if you're thrilled to have received the offer. Remain composed, and make sure you ask the three following questions during the first call.

1. How long do you have to respond:
Always ask how many days you have to make your decision. Use the time to think over the job offer so as to look at all the job dimensions. . Furthermore by asking this question, you're signaling that you may want to discuss the offer, so they'll be expecting your negotiation to come.

2.  Can you receive a copy of the offer and the benefits package:
Make sure you request a follow-up email with the job title, the annual salary, and a complete copy of the benefits package.

3.  If you have questions about the job terms amd benefits, who should you speak with:
 Find out who you should direct your questions to about the job.Mostly this would fall in the human resources department as they deal with job applications.

The Job Negotiation

Once you've thought over your follow-up questions, call the person who extended the offer (whether it's your potential boss or HR) and ask away. Prioritize your questions-if you're happy with the salary, there's no need to negotiate that point.
Keep in mind that this conversation needs to happen on the phone-not through email. Emails come off more demanding than you'd think. If an employer opens up an email and sees a list of questions, they will get put off. Also, the speed of their answers gives you an indication of where you have negotiating room, but you can't tell that through an email. That said, below is a list of questions to consider asking about your offer:
