Multiple Interviews
I have 3 interviews this week and am not sure the etiquette for handling any offers I receive (hopefully!). Should I simply accept the first one that offers me a job? Or can I ask for a day or two to get back to them to find out how all the interviews go?

Re: Multiple Interviews
What kinds of jobs are these, and when are these jobs supposed to start? Usually, unless it's a judicial clerkship, employers will give you at least a little time to decide, but if they're for this summer, the timeline will probably be compressed. I wouldn't say, "Can I have a couple of days to decide," I'd ask, "When do you need a response by?" (If they turn around and say, "Now," then you can ask for more time, but I'd begin by assuming you have a few days.) If course, if you want the first one that offers and know you'd take it over the others, feel free to accept right away.Anonymous User wrote:I have 3 interviews this week and am not sure the etiquette for handling any offers I receive (hopefully!).
