No Entry just need some advice

Hi Guys, need your advices on this issue.

I had been offered a job yesterday and was told to go down and sign the letter of offer next friday. I was thinking why is there a need for so long and secondly, during this period of time (from now till i sign the letter of offer) will they withdraw the offer?

Well you didn't really say much about the company and the position offered, so it's really hard to tell you.

Some companies may take a little longer for the letter of appointment, and technically, yes, they still do reserve the right to withdraw the offer so long as you have not sign it. However, if this is a reputable company you are talking about, then most likely the withdrawal is not going to happen. I don't think many companies will want to tarnish their reputation.

I wish you all the best!

Your job offer is during the holiday period which is the period where no one really in the mood to work so quite normal to wait till 2008 before signing.

No worries on that u sure get your job one

Just called the person in charge. And i was told that she will not be free this coming friday to meet up with me to sign the appointment, she asked me to come down on sat. She stated that she will be busy with lots of meetings this week and she is only available this sat. Is this the way family business was run? Do you guys think they will pull out any stunts again?

So you had to call her before she tells you that she can't make it? And what if you didn't call her?

You mentioned this company is a family business? Hmmm..... My brother is working in a family-run business too, and boy, it's not easy!

I don't know..... it seems to me that this company is not in urgent need of a staff.... I seriously think you might wanna reconsider, and perhaps have an alternative job on hand.
