Question by I Got What U Need: Job interviews, job offers…how long do I have to decide to take a position?
I have had 2 interviews already and have 2 more to go. I need a job right now. Because I am in need of a position fast I am tempted to take the first job offer, whichever it may be. I feel very confident I have a good chance of getting one of the positions I have interviewed for but one of the upcoming would be good too. The last of the 4 is low paying. I really don’t want to accept the low paying position because I am desperate for something now and a few days later get a call from one of the others offering a job. What is a appropriate amount of time to leave before accepting. I don’t want to wait too long hoping on the others to call…..
Should also not, the job I said I feel like I have a good chance at getting is a file clerk position. During the interview she mentioned that they will be going to electronic filing over the next couple of years – which could over time eliminate the position.

Usually you have around a week to accept an offer. When you get one, they will let you know how long you have to respond.
