CHAPTER 14

YOU GOT AN OFFER.

CONGRATULATIONS!

NOW’S THE TIME TO ASK

ALL THOSE QUESTIONS YOU

WANTED TO ASK

Now that you have an offer or a strong expression of interest, it’s ap-
propriate to ask questions about compensation, benefits, and the com-
munity in which you will be working. Before you ask questions, take a
close look at the written letter of confirmation and compensation sum-
mary that the employer will give you. These materials will address most
of your questions. If not, by all means ask to speak with someone in
human resources to satisfy yourself. By the time you make a decision,
you should have details on all of these issues.

COMPENSATION

• What are my salary, commissions, and other compensation?
• How often will I be paid?
• Am I entitled to stock options?

• Am I entitled to noncash compensation?
• Am I entitled to the use of a company vehicle?
