Oh, My God.
Thanks to Miss Karen James for sharing such wealth of knowledge and experience.
Over the year, my biggest and most choking question have always been about salary expectation and I must admit (I don’t answer with confidence) fearing a negative feedback from my interviewer.
Having read this book I am better equipped to answer such questions with more confidence
Secondly, the Gut feeling at interviewers is a serious thing that we ignor. Now I am learning to listen to my inner voice.
Thanks for confirming that it’s ok to decline a job offer.
I highly recommend this book to young professionals.

Official Review presented by Ms Arielle Gibson, SVG. at the Launch of the eBook series
No newcomer to writing, Karen has taken her love for writing and sharing helpful tips to another level in this bite size series. With a wealth of knowledge in the Human Resource and people management area, Karen is sharing her personal experiences from both sides of the Job Offer.
Before you say yes.
Karen brings such a new light to the offer process, making it clear that it is ok to ask questions about benefits, be it financial or otherwise. That we should not undervalue ourselves just because we want a position. We should be confident but not arrogant in our discussion about benefits to be considered when a job offer is not what we expect. If we walk into the conversation with confidence and knowledge, knowing our own worth and the types of benefits that should come with a role, we are already dressed for success.
I love how Karen advises that we shouldn’t just jump on the offer, whether it’s better or worse than what we expected. Ask for time to consider. Use confident phrases which she shared with us, these can help the employer to see the quality you are bringing to them. Sometimes we take a job offer just because we need a job, but it is never good to appear desperate. There are also red flags that can become evident during the interview and offer conversations and taking some time to think things through or as people say sleep on it can really help.
Karen shared guidance on how to negotiate, accept or even decline an offer. This isn’t the end of the road but the beginning, trust your instinct and listen to your inner voice. Make sure the offer feels right, don’t just listen to the money.
These books are concise, short and sweet. Packed with guidance and professional knowledge, I will encourage persons of all ages and stages of their professional lives to take advantage of this wealth of knowledge being shared.
