The Process Of Job Offer Evaluation

By Paul Lewis


When applying for a job, we always hold out the hope that we will get it. We may be overly qualified and looking forward to starting the job. However, you should not always jump at any or every job opportunity you come across. You should ask for some time to think if you will take the job. Below are some of the steps of job offer evaluation.

Do your research on your employer. They of course took time to know you and decide you are the best fit so you should take your time to see if they are the best fit for you. Look at them on social media and see if people are more of negative or positive about the company. You may also ask questions to someone who works there.

Apart from career goals, salary is one of the things that cause us to work. As you read the job offer letter, look at the amount of salary they are offering you. If you do not know where your salary ranges, there are many websites that can inform you of your worth. If the salary is too little for your qualifications, you may look for better options.

Every job has a set of allowances. You should look at the money provided apart from the salary. If you are unsatisfied you should consult with the management. It is not wise to go for a job because it pays a high salary. Ask to see their retirement plan. See how much of your salary is being put aside for the pension. If it is peanuts it is not worth it.

At times, the job you land is actually your dream job. It is exactly what you have been looking for but it is too far away from you. Commuting may be hectic especially through public means. The company is required to give you transport allowance or provide a company vehicle. The easier option may be to cover the costs of you moving closer and offering a rent allowance.

Time is of importance to everyone. Before accepting the job, make a point of knowing what kind of work load you will be facing and how many times you will be required to work over time. If they are paying you by the hour, then working over -time will not be a problem but if it is a normal salary you will grow tired of being over-worked with no pay.

Make sure that the job is in line with your career path. Do not be quick to accept a job because the perks seem exciting. Make sure that it is something that you are actually comfortable doing and you will be able to eventually achieve your career goals. If you hop from one job to the next, your potential employers will see you as unsteady.

Before accepting the job, research on the role you are about to play. See what standards are set and they are realistic. Make sure you are comfortable with the post being offered. Before accepting, the job, go to the human resource department for where you cannot understand.
