When offered a position, proceed professionally. Write down your responses to these questions and to any that you think you need to add. When you finish, review your answers. As you prepare to accept the job offer, think of the importance of your lifetime career. Even if you have accepted the job offer verbally, confirm it in writing, summarizing the conditions of the offer, stating the position title, starting date, salary, and other pertinent information.
Some employers send employment agreement letters.
If yours does, the exchange of letters ensure mutual agreement on the conditions of the offer. Write or telephone everyone who agreed to serve as a reference for you, as well as everyone who assisted you with your job search. Notify each of them of your new job and thank each for helping you. This courtesy should never be overlooked. People you thank will be more likely to help you again if you need to call on your network as you advance in your career.
