OFF THE WALL TIPS FOR GETTING A JOB - 3
Do say no to a job offer.
Don't say yes to every job offer. Don't say yes to an offer that wants you to relocate or travel when you don't. Don't be afraid of saying that this job is not for you.
WHY NOT - Even in a bad economy you want to be able to say no to a poor offer. Taking a salary with a low starting point can cause problems in the future. You may never catch up - it's just not possible to have your salary jump that much in the organization you joined. You may have to explain to a future employer why you took a lower salary and why you want more with them. Hoping that the travel will die down or that the work you didn't like will get better is a long shot at best. Taking a job you don't want may make you demotivated and disgruntled.
