Hello! I applied at two different hospitals within the NYC HEALTH & HOSPITALS system. One sent me the offer and needs to be answered by Tuesday. The other hospital still hasn’t gotten back to me, and I’ve sent two follow up emails.

The one I truly want to work for is closer to home and more convenient for me. The one that I was hired for is farther with hours I don’t really like.

I have a feeling I will get hired at the hospital I want, but I don’t know what to do. If I accept the offer for one hospital, and then wind up declining and taking the other offer, would that look bad? I don’t want to lose out on the first opportunity because I need a job, but I don’t want to mess up my chances for the second one. I don’t know what to do.

Any advice?

Take the job you have been offered. If you get an offer for the second one, accept it and quit the first job. It won’t be an issue since you’d only have been there a few days. How big of a problem can it be if you were only with them for such a short time?

They’ll probably just make an offer to their back up candidate. Hiring managers usually have a second choice candidate. And if not, they’ll just have to continue interviewing. Not a big deal.
