You've been told you've got the job - but there's some t&c's. Your offer is contingent on you passing some third-party health and background checks, which could take weeks.

Because of this, you haven't been given a start date. Can you start celebrating? Is this offer legitimate enough to warrant resigning?

In this week's episode, Sarah and Emma respond to listener Mandi's conundrum and discuss how to protect yourself so you don't end up in a sticky situation.

We share some tips on how you can find out more information about the background check process to make an informed decision on the perfect time to resign.

"Girls, I just got an offer for the job that fits me best which is a 20% increase on base salary!! Thank you so much for giving me the tools, structure and inspo. It has been a wild 6 months. Having not worked for a year, I'd lost confidence and direction. The market is completely different, and I've never had to go through formal processes. Also, I am sure there is a special place in hell for interviews. While the first few interviews for this process were not perfect, at least I turned up (I cancelled soooo many first and second interviews due to nerves/self-sabotage), and I even managed to get out my stories and showcase my best bits. I nailed the presentation (mostly) on Tuesday, references done on Wednesday, got the offer today! I'm so inspired, this was exactly what I needed to get out of my funk. I loved how I could work through the steps at my own pace and download your tools without having to sell my soul. Thanks for sharing your expertise with me. I wish you both all the success, Your fan in Melbourne. PS. I would buy you more cuppas but my budget is low after having spent $500 on a career coach before I found your podcast!😭"
