honour of being able to help numerous professionals land their dream job
offers and so if this is something that you're interested in working with me one
on one I can give you details about that at the end of this video I truly believe
that if you're an ambitious professional and you've learned the right way on how
to write an attractive compelling resume and you've learned and implemented the
right way to sell yourself in interviews then you should not be surprised to get
multiple job offers from different employers at the same time now some of
you may hear multiple job offers I can't even get one but two that I asked you
have you implemented the right way to write your resume in a compelling
attractive way and have you implemented the right strategy on how to sell
yourself in interviews because if you haven't then you want to start with that
now in today's video I'm going to walk you through the process of how to choose
which job offer is right for you once you've gotten to that stage where you've
received multiple offers at the same time many of my clients have had to deal
with this and I've helped them through using these five tips tip number one
determine if it's a step up down or lateral move because this will impact
your decision if it's a step up then this is a plus for you because as an
ambitious professional you want to move to new levels in your career but if it's
a lateral move or even a step down in your career then you truly have to ask
yourself if that's the right move for you at this time in your life for
example maybe you've just become a new parent and you realize that you really
just want more time for yourself so that you can spend that time with your family
then taking a lateral move or even maybe a step back in your career would maybe
be the right thing for you so to help you filter down the job offers that are
right for you look at the factors of your unique situation in your life at
this point and go with the job offers that are going to head you in the
that you're looking to make on to tip number to understand the breadth of job
duties you'll get to do this is extremely important and many people
overlook this when they're presented with a shiny new job offer they forget
about what the job actually entails and more so focus on the compensation and
the benefits that they're going to be getting and the bright shiny company
that they're going to be joining instead you have to look at the actual job that
you'll be doing don't join a company just because you like the culture or the
people that can be deceiving at first because if you end up not liking the job
and the duties and tasks that you're assigned to do you'll quickly resent the
company that you work at as well a good thing to look for is to see if you're
going to have a breadth of duties a wide variety of experiences to be gained from
this position because that's actually going to set you up well for your future
job after this next one which means that if you all of a sudden decide part way
through this next job that you want to eventually take on a position that's
slightly different but makes use of some of the experiences that you've gained
from that job then that's going to help you to jump into that direction but if
the job is too narrow there's only a few tasks and responsibilities that you're
responsible for you might end up getting bored because it would be too routine
and it might be hard to switch into doing something different after that
position tip number three feel out the company culture how did you feel when
you have the chance to meet the people you're gonna work with in the interviews
did you get a truly warm and welcoming sense from them do you feel as though
it's really a great place to work at I remember in a previous life when I had
to look for jobs and go on interviews I remember walking into this one company
and right away before I even met anyone I could just feel this tension this icy
cold vibe in the air it just didn't feel like a warm and happy place and once I
got into the interview room it didn't matter what the employer said to me
because I was able to read their body language and their mannerisms and I
could sense that they weren't all that happy working where they were at and I
trusted that feeling and in the end I ended up being right so if you get the
similar feelings you have to trust what you feel trust what you're feeling and
sensing when it comes to the company culture
don't try to logically persuade yourself that it's a great place to work when
your gut feels otherwise so take some time to reflect on those job interviews
that you went on and get a sense for how you felt when you went into each of
those interviews and the people that you met try to remind yourself of the people
who you feel you could really work with who you connected with well and that can
help to guide to the right job offer as well tip number four make sure you're
getting fairly compensated many people see compensation as the number one thing
to be considered when looking at job offers and I say yes even though it is
important to look at compensation it shouldn't be the only thing that you pay
attention to don't just look at the compensation and weigh that as being the
heaviest because I can tell you right now when it comes to compensation and
job offers that is still negotiable even though they wrote a certain amount on
your job offer a letter you can still negotiate that so the reason why you
would want to compare compensation packages isn't necessarily to just
decide but actually you can leverage the other job offers that you got if they
gave you higher amounts and go to the company that you're feeling the best
about and tell them you got another job offer and it's actually a higher amount
tell them what the amount was and from there you'll be able to negotiate and
leverage that other job offer to hopefully get them to match the job
offer amounts from the other company don't be afraid to do this because this
company at the end of the day if they really liked you they will be willing to
pay you what you deserve as long as it's justifiable and you've been able to
clearly articulate that to them for more tips on salary negotiation just click on
my other video related to this topic finally tip number five look within and
identify which one makes you feel most excited you want to spend some quiet
meditation time to look within and to ask yourself what job offer resonates
with you most and be honest with yourself if
you're leaning towards a job because you think other people are going to be
impressed by that company or that job offer but you don't really feel all that
excited about it be aware of that you have to be completely honest with
yourself when you're taking on something as big as a new job because that job is
going to determine the course of the next few months and potentially years
likely years for yourself so you really want to trust your gut turn inward and
listen to your inner voice so there you have it those are my five tips on how to
decide which job offer is right for you now if you're someone who's been
actively looking for a new job you haven't yet gotten any job offers and
