5. REVIEWING JOB OFFERS
  5.3 COMMUNICATE YOUR DECISION TO THE EMPLOYER
   
  What to Know
   
  There are several possible outcomes for your analysis of job offers. You can:
  • accept the offer (as is or negotiated);
  • reject the offer; or
  • request extension of the decision.

Whatever your decision, communicate your decision immediately either verbally or in writing. If the offer was made verbally, a verbal response is sufficient. If the offer was made in writing, a written response is required. Usually the written offer from the employer will include a second copy for you to sign and send back. It is a good idea to request a written job offer, particularly if you are relocating for the job or if there is a time delay before actually starting work. If you are requesting to delay the decision, the request should be made verbally and then follow it up with a letter.
