Having multiple job offers to choose from is one of the best situations you can be in during your career.

Suddenly, you have several options to choose from and it can actually become quite difficult to figure out which job offer is best for you.

If you have multiple job offers to choose from, here are some suggestions to figure out which one is best: 1. Get all job offers in writing. A job offer isn't a job offer until you have a hard copy in your hands.

2. Look beyond the money when making your decision. If the job offers you are considering are different in terms of the compensation, remember to consider all aspects of the two job offers. Picking the highest paying position isn't always best in the long term.

3. Compare the pros and cons of each offer and each job opportunity. Sometimes it might be difficult to compare two job offers exactly since some components might not appear on each offer but do your best to remember which job will fulfill most if not all of your requirements.

4. Don't string along the companies whose offers you are considering. In most cases you'll be given a period of time to accept a job offer and while you want to take the necessary time to consider the offer, don't wait so long that one of the companies pulls their offer, assuming you aren't interested. I've seen this happen.

5. Be careful about playing one company against another. With multiple job offers, the first thought might be to see if one company will increase their offer if you tell them that you are considering another offer and sometimes, this can

result in you getting an improved offer from one or more companies. Or it could result in an offer being pulled away from you by a company who isn't happy that you are trying to use them this way.

6. Don't reject any job offers until you have returned a signed copy of the job offer you are accepting and have confirmation from your new employer that they have received the signed offer in their hands.
