A good way to measure how serious is a verbal agreement -- immediately after you make the agreement, document the salient points and send it to the counterparty both via e-mail and via snail mail, return receipt requested. They will clearly understand that you perceive the agreement as a contract.

Just don't quit your current job!

Don't put any emotion into any part of the job search process until the first check clears and you've survived your first two weeks.

After the interview, I email a request for update. If I hear nothing, I move on.

Never get emotionally attached to a job application.
