- First, be intuitive. Go with your gut feelings. Sometimes you get feelings that some offers and jobs are a better fit for you than others. don't ignore these feelings.
- Second, be realistic. What were the five most important criteria on your list that your next job needed to meet? Just like no new house has everything you want, and you may have to settle for some things to get most of what you want, the same is true with a job. When you are offered opportunities that meet many of these criteria, even if they do not meet all of them, seriously consider these opportunities.

Don't underestimate the importance of taking time to evaluate and consider all the job opportunities you are offered. However, we also recommend you do not take too much time. A popular saying is "time kills all deals." The truth is: potential employers want to be wanted just like you, the candidate, want to be wanted. If too much time passes, potential employers may question your interest in their opportunities. They may also be concerned that you are "shopping" their offers - that is, using them to negotiate better offers elsewhere.
