You have an offer!

• Say thank you, and let them know you are excited to consider the offer!
• Ask for offer details in writing.
• Find out when the employer needs your decision; use the time to research benefits/salaries and weigh other options.
• Be respectful of their deadline, and respond within the time-frame as soon as you feel comfortable. If absolutely necessary, you can request an extension on the deadline.
• Stay in communication with the employer as long as you are considering the offer.
• When making major career decisions, it can be helpful to use a SWOT analysis to weigh your options.
