Hi everybody,
I have a question about offers.
How do they usually done..by phone, email?
I am interested to know how big companies do that.
Just curious..
Thank you
It is up to the company policy but most will call first and if you are not there they will give you a email the only thing that is worry some about that is most company's will only wait 24hrs after the email for a reply before moving to the next possible person.

In terms of waiting time, I guess it depands on what kind of candadate and what kind of position..
thank you for your response though
Obviously, I can't speak for all companies - but all of the companies I've received offers from (all of which were large companies), were done via the phone first. Usually a call from HR to tell me they have decided to extend a offer to me and whether I would be interested in accepting. They would also tell me the details like the salary, vacation days, etc.
Personally, for me - I would not officially accept anything unless I see it in writing. I would verbally accept the role, and ask them to send me the offer in writing. They will usually put a "offer package" together and overnight it to me to review, which includes the official offer letter stating the salary and title of the position, and benefits info.

My current job called me, offered me the position and asked if I could come in to go over hiring procedures/salary requirements/benefits etc. before we signed the paperwork. It was GREAT because most people are so excited to be offered a job they don't notice if everyone in the office looks miserable, if the benefits are terrible and if it would be a good fit.
I went in, met a bunch of the employees, the CEO and both my managers (in accounting and maintenance) then took me to lunch so we could chat and get to know eachother. We then signed the 'official' offer and I started the next week. I wish all companies were like that.

Generally speaking, ditto. My current employer I didn't get a letter, they are a smaller company and it's very much a verbal agreement and a handshake type of industry. I know this, so I went with the flow. My paychecks have been arriving and for the correct amount, so it's all good.

I have one more question..probably HR people here will know..
Am I correct assuming the following?
A Co will not give rejections until someone will accept the offer..Then, they will let the rest know that they do not get a job..
How does it really work???
