When you receive a job offer, your immediate response should always be one of sincere gratitude. It's essential to convey appreciation for the opportunity presented, regardless of whether the offer meets your expectations or not. However, it's equally important not to reveal your feelings about the offer right away. Take the time to fully understand the offer and the company's performance management system. This understanding can significantly influence your perception of the offer's value. Reacting solely to the numerical aspects of the offer overlooks the broader context, including how it aligns with your career goals and potential for growth within the organization. Instead of forming an opinion right off the bat, ask questions to gain clarity. One effective question to start with is: "𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫?" This question opens the door for a constructive conversation about the offer, allowing you to understand the rationale behind the salary or compensation package and negotiate terms that better align with your expectations and worth. ------- Follow QDStaff for top-notch advice, exclusive roles, and the best game industry opportunities.

❌ Stop canceling yourself out of opportunities just because you don't "think" you can get hired or because you don't "think" you can get noticed since a lot of other candidates clicked on the position (the number of people that applied is actually just the number of people that CLICKED). ❌ Stop thinking and start DOING! You do not need to be thinking for other people, doing their job for them, or making the decision to not choose you so final. You are supposed to be encouraging your own self to keep going towards the finish line. CHEERLEAD FOR YOURSELF! ❌ Stop self-rejecting from positions because you have NO clue what the company is going to see in you or like about your skills until you apply with effort. When you keep yourself out of consideration opportunities, all you are doing is making it easier on the Hiring Managers to pick someone else for the salary.

Today’s Tip .. Reject a Job Offer Without Burning a Bridge You got a great job offer—but realized it’s not the right fit for you at the moment. Here’s how to navigate the situation gracefully and leave the door open for future opportunities. Act quickly. Swiftly declining the offer—ideally within 24 to 48 hours—is crucial. Delaying your response can unfairly string the potential employer along and hinder their recruitment process, leaving a bad taste in their mouth. Ditch email. While it may be less uncomfortable to deliver the bad news via email, don’t take the easy way out. A phone call is more personal and respectful, and allows you to demonstrate your sincerity and regard for the opportunity you’re turning down. Frame your response with grace. When you’re declining their offer, consider the situation from the employer’s perspective. Acknowledge that your decision, though right for you, was difficult to make. It is also essential to provide a clear reason (without being harsh or critical). Focus on how the opportunity doesn’t align with your career goals or personal circumstances. Stay in touch. Maintaining a connection with the people you encountered through the application process is a strategic way to expand your network and stay on their radar. Remember, these are professionals who recognized your potential and valued your skills enough to extend a job offer. hbr #worklifebalance

Are you considering a counter offer? Navigating the job market can be tricky, and counter offers can add an extra layer of complexity. 🤯 It's important to weigh up the pros and cons before making a decision. The first thing to consider is why you are looking to leave your current role. Is the counter offer enough to keep you happy in the long run? Does it address the core issues that you have with your current role? It's also worth considering the implications of staying with your current employer. Would you be offered the same opportunities as you would in a new role? Would you be able to progress in the same way? 🤔 Ultimately, it's important to make the decision that is right for you. Consider all the options and make sure you are happy with the outcome. #CounterOffer #JobMarket #CareerGoals 🤝 🤗
