Most job offers have an expiration date. Either the recruiter/employer will outright tell you over the phone or through email, or the job offer letter will specify a deadline. It's usually one week after you get offered the job—that's a standard time to “think it over” and come to a decision.
Here are some examples of what to say when asking for time to consider a job offer: "Thank you so much for the opportunity! I look forward to working with your company and helping grow the business. I'd like to ask for a few days to consider the offer in its entirety."
On average, most companies will call their preferred candidate with a job offer within 24 days. Some industries see a shorter timeline (within 2 weeks) while others go beyond 30 days.
Clearly state the job title and position being offered. Include the key details of the offer, such as salary, benefits and any additional compensation. Outline the start date and working hours, including full-time, part-time, contract or internship duration.
Usually, a job offer letter has an expiration date. Effectively, this a deadline for the job offer acceptance by the candidate. Generally, it is valid if the candidate accepts and signs the offer letter on or before the expiration date.
Work schedule: Employers may outline our work schedule , comprising the hours they expect you to work each week, including if your position requires you to work weekends, evenings or holidays. The job offer letter also includes your expected start date, which you likely discussed during an interview.
The timing of the offer letter will vary depending on the employer and the specific hiring process. In some cases, an offer letter may be sent on the same day as the verbal offer, while in others, it may take several days or even a week or more.
You need to accept within 7 days if you are in need of the job. You can accept the offer by stating the condition in comments. Once accepted you can follow up with HR for revised OL.
