Job 1: Your top choice.
Job 2: 2nd choice
Job 3: 3rd choice
If job 3 calls you and sets up an interview, then agrees to hire you, and you accept the position... But job 2 or 1 calls you to set up an interview a day or two after you've accepted the position (or even a week after).
1. Should you tell them at the interview that you have an offer in hand from job 3, but that you would prefer to work for their company?
2. Also, let's say that job 1 or 2 agrees to hire you. Is it acceptable to turn down job 3 after you've already accepted?
3. Lastly, is it acceptable to ask for time to decide when offered a job? How much time should you ask for ?
Always be on the come-up.
Get a sheet of paper. Write the 3 jobs down. Columns for 1. Pay 2. Commute cost 3. Benefits 4. Perks 5. Do u think you will like the people 5. Advancement Potential
Then fill it out, take some time, sleep on it, decide what.s most important to you of the above and then make ur decision. I would also do a gut check for each job and trust that too.

I have been in this situation a few months ago. I basically apologized to job 2 and told them that I am going with job 1, and here it is seven months later, and I know I have made the right decision.
