Dear Evil HR Lady,
After what seems like an interminable period of job-searching, I finally have a job offer in hand. Yeah! The salary is good (although not spectacular), but it’s a job I’m very interested in doing and it’s a good fit. I’ve known the hiring manager for years and am excited about it.
However, last week I interviewed for another job which would also be a spectacularly good fit, and most likely more money. They told me I was one of three very strong candidates. I was the first of the three to interview…

Would you believe that with the modification of maybe three adjectives, this describes my current situation perfectly? Yes, I’ve known the hiring manager for years. Yes, I was the first to interview at the other place. Uncanny! (I found your column by Googling a description of my predicament.)
So I took your advice and it worked like a charm! Very professional counsel, thank you!
This email made my day. I love to hear when people have actually been helped by my advice. So, thanks for sharing!
