Things To Consider During A Job Offer Evaluation

By Paul Lewis


You got the job! are some of the words that can brighten your day. More so if it is your dream job. However, before signing a contract or agreeing to anything, you should take your time to weigh your options. Make sure that the offer is in line with what you expected or what you can work with. These are some of the things to look out during 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.

We mostly depend on our salaries for everyday life. Make sure the salary they offer is in line with the services you are providing. Make sure that you do not actually spend more money than you receive. You may ask someone in a similar post if their pay id the same or better still, do research on how much the post you are being offered is supposed to pay.

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.

Savings and expenses are a big part of our lives. The closer you are to your place of work the shorter the commute and the lesser the expenses acquired. If a company office is located far, your commute may be longer and more tiring. They can offer to give you means of transport or facilitate your moving closer to the offices.

Time is how people are able to go about their day. Look at how much time you use to get to work and what means you use. You should also look at the working hours. Many times one works up to 8 hours a day but may need over time due to the work load. If you are paid per hour, then working overtime is good for you but just a salary may cause you to be paid less for more work.

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.

Make sure that the goals and standards that company is expecting you to meet are realistic. If some of the terms and conditions placed there do not seem attainable to you, you should seek further clarification on them from the human resource department before making a decision.
