How to follow up with firms after getting offer from another

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Oct 02, 2014 10:12 pm

So I followed up with some firms I haven't heard back from this week, and then yesterday I got an offer from a firm that is high on my list. How should I go about letting these firms I just followed up with that I have an offer but am still interested without sounding annoying? TYIA!

Wait until one week before your offer expires then email the firms again to let 'em know of expiring offer.

I wouldn't wait quite that long (not every firm can get you in for a callback and make an offer on 1 week's notice). Probably wait 1-2 weeks and let them know. Just say that you received an offer but you're still interested in working for them next summer.
