If that job offer you just got signals a happy end to your search, you might immediately want to text all your friends, pop the bubbly, and cue the imaginary marching band to mark the sheer magnitude of this moment. Or if you know you’re not going to take the job, you may want to shrug and go about your day uninterrupted. Or maybe your reaction is somewhere in between. Regardless, let’s take a deep breath and just make sure you’re actually all set.
Before you start the celebration or walk away, you need to decide what you want to do about the offer and communicate it to the company. And even though you’re at the tail end of this company’s hiring process, it’s important to keep it professional and respond in a reasonable amount of time. It should go without saying that ghosting an employer is not professional—no matter how often you’ve been ghosted yourself.
