How doI "put off" or delay a job offer while waiting for other job offers?
I just recently I started applying at several managerial job openings I saw online.
My problem is: I went through a lot of job applications and actually got accepted to several companies. One company is already rushing me to start on June 24th but I am still waiting to hear back on my other job applications since I want to work for the other companies I applied to MORE since they have better company standing, etc. I am worried if I do not take the other job offer and start by June 24, that I may not even get the other job/s I applied to. Here's an overview of my choices:
Call Center #1:
- Offered me low salary
- Is 1 hour away from my home
- Poor facilities, poor employee satisfaction (based on internet searches)
- Company is well known
- Potential START DATE: July 5
Call Center #2:
- Offered me high salary
- Is 30 minutes away from my home
- Nice facilities, medium to poor employee satisfaction (based on internet searches)
- Company is "unheard of", small company
- Potential START DATE: June 24
Call Center #3:
- Hasn't offered me salary yet, but based on feedback, can give me HIGH salary
- Is 1 hour away from my home
- Great facilities, VERY high employee satisfaction (based on internet searches)
- Company is VERY well known and has a GREAT REPUTATION
- Potential START DATE:?? - Still waiting for 2ND INTERVIEW DATE
Company #4:
- Hasn't offered me salary yet, but based on feedback, can give me HIGH salary
- Is 1 hour away from my home
- Great facilities, high employee satisfaction (based on internet searches)
- Company is VERY well known and has a GREAT REPUTATION
- Potential START DATE:?? - Still waiting for 2ND INTERVIEW DATE
Company #5:
- Hasn't offered me salary yet, but based on feedback, can give me HIGH salary
- Is 1 hour away from my home
- Okay facilities, high employee satisfaction (based on internet searches)
- Company is SEMI well known
- Potential START DATE:?? - Still waiting for actual JOB OFFER, done with ENTIRE recruitment process, no call back yet
How do I "delay" the hire dates any further without losing the job offers I already have? The other companies aren't a sure thing yet so I am really pressed to decide because I want to choose a HIGH PAYING + GREAT & WELL KNOWN COMPANY that can give me good experience and also has an undisputable company profile. =( HELP!!
