17. IF THE EMPLOYER CALLS ME WITH AN OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT, I WANT YOUR AUTHORIZATION TO
ACCEPT ON YOUR BEHALF, AND HERE’S WHY:

● Companies like people who can make decisions.


● It shows your confidence that you can do the job.
● It shows your sincere interest in working for them.
● The last thing I want to tell the company is that you want to think about it, because that raises doubts
in their minds and they will continue to interview other people. Do I have your authority to accept?
● Do you understand, (candidate’s name), that when you go to resign from your present employer, they
may meet or exceed the terms of (company’s name) offer of employment. What would you do? (Don’t
talk.)

● Thank them for the opportunity to interview.

20. BY THE WAY, ARE THERE ANY OTHER POSITIONS YOU ARE INVESTIGATING AT THIS TIME?
● How do they compare?

21. RATE THIS POSITION ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 10. IF NOT 10, WHAT WOULD MAKE IT A 10?

IN THE EVENT THE COMPANY CALLS AND MAKES AN OFFER OF EMPLOYMENT

● If the compensation and position meet your needs, accept it immediately and call me.
● If the company calls and offers you employment that does not meet your requirements, tell them you
would like some time to make a decision. DON’T TURN IT DOWN. CALL ME.
