If you apply for more than one job and you would like job A the most but job B says they'll hire you before you hear about job A, is it ok to tell job B that you need to give them a week or so before you accept the job because you're waiting for another company to get back to you?
I applied for too many jobs at once and I'm trying to find the best one, assuming they'll hire me, and I don't know how this works. |

Absolutely. Ask to let you think about it for a couple days.
I wanted job B but job A contacted me first, I told them to give me a couple days, then heard back from job B who hired me, then I called job A and told them I had taken a position elsewhere. |

Sure, but don't be surprised if they need to fill the position and find someone else. It works both ways...

Sorry chiming in a bit late here, that's perfectly fine. Only thing I would suggest is not saying you are waiting on another job but that you needed time to review and make a decision.

The one job I was offered, I decided to turn down. It could spike up to 32 hours a week and I'm just looking for a part time job. I wouldn't be able to do it with taking care of my kids, and I'm too easily frazzled...I think it would be too much stress. So I'm kind of bummed but I guess I'll just see what my other interview brings and hopefully it will be good.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
