Job acceptance help.

I interviewed for job A last Tuesday. They said they would be doing their callings this coming Monday.

job B called me Friday and asked me to come in for an interview this coming Tuesday.

What do I do if job A calls me for a job?

Some people told me to take the job and if job B offers and I want that, to take it and give job A two weeks notice. [My problem with that is I would feel like I am wasting job A's time]

Some people told me to tell job A that I would like to review all my options and ask if I can call them back later in the week with actually giving them a day. [That seems more reasonable to me]

I've obviously never had more then one option at a time. ha.

So what would you do? I'd really LOVE job B way more then job A, if that helps.

I would still do the interview for job B. You never know what could happen!

Oh yah I am absolutely doing the interview for job B, but I don't know how to handle job A if they offer me a job. The interview is the day after job A said they would do callings.

If job A offers, tell them that you need 48 hours to review your options.

Interview on Tuesday. See if it's really as awesome as you hope it will be.

If job B doesn't offer that day do I just base my choice off of how I think the interview went then?

I know job B would be a better fit for me then job A though.

ETA: but I don't want to totally rule out job A in case job B doesn't offer.

If you ask for 48 hours, and at the end of 48 hours you don't have an offer from B, you accept A. If B comes in later, you call A and give as much notice as possible.

If you were supposed to start next Monday, and you have an answer on Thursday, call A and tell them you're sorry you can't be there on Monday, you have another offer that's a better fit for you.

If you start next Monday and you get an offer for B on Tuesday, tell them on Tuesday that you can stay until the end o f the week (or whatever).

Look out for you - nobody else is.
