Question by vintageprincess72: If you’re offered a job after an interview, but not very keen & waiting for other offers, how do you respond?
May I know what is an appropriate way to respond, when for example, you went for an interview, got through it, but do not want to give an immediate reply since you are also looking and waiting for other potential job offers?
If you say no, it might be a long wait for the next one to come by. If you say yes, you might miss out on a better opportunity. So what do you do?

It’s a tricky question. Obviously if they have advertised for someone, they want someone to be able to start asap.
If you are really not interested, be honest and say “I appreciate your time, but I don’t think this position is exactly what I am after. Thank you for considering me.”
If you are waiting to hear from somewhere else that you prefer, you could say that you will need to give two weeks notice, and then, if you get the other job, let them know that something has come up and you are unable to accept the position. Thank them again.
Always be polite and never rude, as you may find yourself at the same company a few years down the track.
