What do you do if you get a job offer but have an interview for a better job?

[optimisticzoomer]

Hasn’t happened to me but it could
If one place offers you a job but you’re interviewing for a better job

Do you turn down the original and risk no job? Or take it and quit after a very short time if you get an offer from the better job?

Second option

I thought you had a job as President of ascension peninsula

Don’t go with the 2nd option because it would look super unprofessional you can put job offers on hold, or ask them for an extension I’m sure

 

[sub5outsider]

Take the job and quit it if you get a better offer .

Huh? I mean for example you get a job offer, but then get an interview for another better job. Do you take the initial offer and then quit if you get the second job? Or turn down the original offer? This is provided you currently have a job anyway, but are just looking for better ones

What huh? You take the job that you like more if you know they will hire you

Well you don’t know that
You have an interview, but your offer for the other job has a time limit

If the offer for the other Job is still open (they want to hire me and I have to give my answer) and it’s better then the current job i‘m in I would take the other job and not wait for the third option at all, I would grab the first chance that get’s offered to me and not wait for more chances. But you do you

 

[New Poster]

Don’t accept or reject first offer. Hem and haw until you know about the better job.

But you do you

Ok, once you’ve taken the first job offered, do you do the interview for the other job you would prefer? And then do you take that and quit the job you just started?

Like imagine I have a job rn but I apply for 2 other jobs and 1 of them offers me an interview, I do the first interview that gets offered to me and if it sounds like I would have a better job than my current one where i’m working at and they also want to hire me I would take the Job immediatly and not wait for the other job to offer me an interview, I would just grab that first opportunity because opportunities are always limited and maybe you wait for the other job and they decide they don’t want you and maybe you end up without any of them
