In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: It's important to know what you have to work with when you're offered a job. Ask the hiring manager or your liaison in the company about the dimensions of the offer, and be sure to get them in writing. These include: What is the salary? Where is the job located and would there be any relocation reimbursement if you had to move? What are the benefits? (401(k), paid vacation time, remote working opportunities, etc.) Is there a signing bonus? What is the starting date? Always appear gracious and thankful when accepting any offer. Try to conceal any feelings of disappointment if you receive a low ball offer the idea of negotiating is to not tip your hand. When you get your offer, don't be so star-struck by its shininess that you immediately accept or start the negotiation process right away. Give yourself some time to think things over rationally. Say something like "I appreciate your offer. I'm very excited about starting, but am still waiting to hear back from several other organizations. Can we discuss the offer again in a week?" Talk with the hiring manager about the company's expectations for hearing back and try to reach a middle ground. If they want the position to be filled immediately, you may want to give them an answer sooner rather than later. A reasonable amount of time to think about the offer is anywhere from a day to a week. Don't be worried about losing the job offer after asking for time to decide. This happens very rarely. An employer that really wants you will give you as much time within reason as is necessary to decide. An employer that makes an offer and rescinds it before you've made a decision is likely to cut corners, cheat, and generally treat its employees poorly. Consider yourself lucky to have gotten out! Know what you are saying "yes" to before you sign on the dotted line. Obtain a financial history of the company to determine if this is the type of company you want to align yourself with and whether you see a future at the business. Talk to other employees. If you have friends or business connections with the company ask for a candid response to what it is like to work for the company. You never really know what the work conditions are like until you talk to someone who is on the inside. If you don't personally know anyone at the company, don't try to talk to a random employee but instead look for message boards online where you could pick up cues or hints within threads between employees. Obtain the company mission statement. Consider if the mission statement is something you agree with or whether it isn't aligned with your personal work ethics or goals. Ask yourself what advantages and disadvantages the potential job has for important areas in your life. Because you'll be spending the majority of your waking week at work, finding a good personal and professional fit is extremely important. Consider these three needs: Individual needs. Does the job satisfy your intellectual needs, creativity, and natural curiosity? Do you think you could fit in with the company culture? Would you be motivated about and excited for work? Family needs. Is the job likely to be compatible with your family duties and interests? Is the job geographically close enough to give you enough time to spend at home? Can you imagine your family thriving with other families in the company? Career goals. Can you imagine furthering your career with the organization? Is there room for growth? Do they offer competitive training, job experience, and pay to make this a "step up" from where you were before? Is there job security? Knowing what the company's competitors will offer may provide you with leverage during negotiations. Research salary and benefits from two to three competing companies using career search engines on Careers.com, Monster.com or Salary.com. Take into consideration that each comparable job may offer different perks and benefits, but use the general information to make comparisons to the possible offer on the table. Leverage is ability exert control or influence over a situation. Brainstorm things that might give you leverage. You'll use these things as bargaining chips very soon: Stronger leverage: You're a great candidate in a highly sought-after position You have a respectable offer from another company in a related field/industry Weaker leverage: You know the company wants to fill the position soon You know what the "industry standard" salary for the position is
Summary: Find out all the particulars. Thank the employer for the offer, even if it's horrible. Negotiate a time frame for deciding. Do your homework. Think about whether the potential job meets your needs and goals. Research the competition. Find out what kind of leverage you have, if any.

Problem: Article: Get out a mini muffin pan and spray it with non-stick baking spray. Set it aside for later use. As you are doing this, preheat the oven to 400F (204.5C). A regular muffin pan is okay to use as well if you don't have a mini muffin pan. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin. Cut the dough into 24 triangles. The triangles should be around the same size as if you were using a round glass or cookie cutter, but with three pointed edges. Put each triangle into a cup in the muffin pan. Leave two ends of the triangles sticking out of the pan so that you can remove them from the pan easier later on. Only a small portion of the ends need to stick out because the dough will expand as it cooks. First, put one tablespoon of tomato sauce into each cup of dough. Then, put pepperoni on top of each dough triangle. Add in the rest of the ingredients, like the olives and mushrooms. Finish by topping each dough with mozzarella sauce and parsley. Put the mini muffin pan in the oven and bake for fifteen minutes. The bites should be cooked through, and the dough should be browned when they are finished baking. Allow them to cool for a few minutes and serve warm. Cover the leftovers and keep them in the refrigerator for no longer than a few days.
Summary:
Spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cut the pizza dough. Add the ingredients. Bake for 15 minutes.
