The Offer… Values and Needs job satisfaction Do the values of the company and employees

reflect my own? Cost of living. Will the salary be sufficient? Are the requirements and demands of the job

compatible with my lifestyle?

Reneging On Job/Internship Offers Once you accept an offer (full time, part time or internship) through our recruiting program or in your independent job search, you are expected to withdraw completely from the

job/internship search process. If you are uncertain as to whether you should accept an offer, please consult with a member of the

Career Services staff. Reneging is unprofessional and jeopardizes Georgia Tech's reputation in the employment community as well

as your own. Should you renege on an offer, Career Services reserves the right to block you from participating in any

additional on-campus interviews.

Salary Offer/Negotiations Tips Use terms like “open”, “negotiable”, “competitive” Extend the range approximately 10-15% higher Make sure you are realistic Stall, accept or decline

just that, a start.
