[quote=Anonymous]I have a verbal offer with a company but no official paperwork yet (HR person left town for vacation - I was told it would come this week).  I just got a call for an interview at another company.  Of course I am going to move forward with the 2nd one, and I am not going to "count my chickens before they hatch" since I still don't have anything in writing from the first one, but I was wondering if asked whether I am interviewing with other places or not (which it seems many places do ask), if I should tell company #2 that I have a verbal offer (or maybe even a written offer at that point?) - what are the pros and cons of that?  On one hand it would show i am desirable, but on the other would they think that I am unlikely to say yes to them at this point or would ask for too much money and just move to the next person instead?  Also, if I do get an offer how much time would I have to sign and get back to them, since of course I would like to see how far things with this 2nd company would go. [/quote]
