Some general recommendations:
Track your search activity -- If you are actively seeking a new position, chances are you're working with more than one search firm. Keep a record of who is to present you for which position with what company. It will save much confusion and embarrassment down the road. Duplication of effort wastes time and makes us all look bad.
Consider going for a job offer for the purpose of being elevated in position or salary with your current employer – NOT. Word gets out when people's time and budgets have been abused. You can do many wiser things for your career. If it's a raise you are after, simply do your homework regarding your value in the marketplace and be direct with your employer.Pursue with sincerity only -- It is important to be clear the opportunity is one you are serious about before having the company invest their time, money, and effort into the process. Educate yourself on the geographical location if you are unfamiliar. When a job change involves relocation, discuss the prospect thoroughly with affected family members before your first in-person interview to be certain they are on board should you get the offer.
Be prepared for a counter offer --Often your current employer, particularly in this very tight job market, will try to make it attractive for you to stay on once you've tendered your resignation. Statistics demonstrate that the outcomes when counters are accepted are not good. The company is concerned about lost productivity and a drop in morale when an employee leaves. By "buying" you back, they have temporarily put out a fire Still, the marriage has suffered a setback and you are in a position to be the casualty of choice at the first opportunity for staff cuts.
