How long should I wait to accept a job offer?
|
I'm a law student who has been looking for a summer job . Today I found out that I'm hired at a great place (unpaid) that I wouldn't mind working at at all. On the other hand, I interviewed for a paying job(job 2) with yet another great place that I would certainly learn a lot from. Here's the question. Job 2 said they will get back to me in 3 weeks! So, that means I would have to make Job1 wait 2 more weeks, before I either accepted or declined. That's quite a while, is it not? Suggestions on proper dealing? Thanks!

I'd call job 2 and tell them you have another offer but would prefer to work for them, and ask if there's any way they can let you know in a week or so rather than the 3 weeks.
It's not really reasonable to expect job 1 to wait 3 weeks for your answer, but they'd probably be willing to wait for a week.
Good luck. |

I think you can contact job 2 to see if you can get your response earlier. My sister did that for a better paying job and because they really wanted her they sent her the letter of offer the same day.
I don't think it's bad to explain to them that you really want to work for them and you have to let job 1 that you decline their offer asap so they can offer that job to someone else. |

Take the unpaid one, you do not have a contract with them do you? Wait to see if you get the paid one. If you do, leave the unpaid one, it is perfectly acceptable and happens all the time (especially with unpaid jobs) |
