How to Choose Between Two Jobs You Really Want

Post by:The Reserves Network September 20, 2017April 9, 2024

How to Choose Between Two Jobs You Really Want

The goal of any job search is to find a position you love. Of course, when you have two offers and you want to take both jobs, you’ve got a problem – although it’s a good problem to have. You must choose which job is going to be the best fit for you.

 

To help you decide which job is most likely to advance your career and make you happy:

 

  • Find out exactly what each company is offering:

Know all of the details on each job offer: salary, health benefits, vacation time, 401(k) match, and all other workplace perks.  If you have as much information as possible about both jobs, you can figure out which best fits your lifestyle and career goals.

 

  • Compare all of the pros and cons:

Make a list with all relevant pros and cons, focusing on everything from the corporate culture to commuting time to your overall impressions of the job and the potential for growth.

 

  • Focus on what’s most important:

As you make your list, think about what matters most to you. Do you care more about job flexibility so you can see your kids’ sporting events or do you want a higher salary with a strict schedule? You know what matters in your life and those are the most important criteria to focus on.

 

  • Determine if there’s room for negotiation:

If one job seems to offer better perks but you would prefer the other position, find out if there is any room to negotiate a better deal from your top choice employer.

 

  • Listen to your heart:

You probably have a gut feeling about which opportunity is the best one. You need to be happy with your work life – follow your heart!

 

  • Be gracious and don’t burn bridges when turning down an offer:

When you’ve decided which offer to take, be gracious about turning down the other position.

 

The Reserves Network helps you land an offer at companies you’ll be happy to work for. You, too, can have the “problem” of too many great opportunities to choose from! Contact our staffing service to find out how we can help with your job hunt.
