    What happens if you were to get offered a position but you have more interviews set up for the coming days/weeks.
    I had an interview that went quite well some time ago and will know the outcome next week. But I have secured an interview with a different company on May 28th.
    This hasn't happened yet but just wanted to know what to do if it does

    It's up to yourself really but some places will want you to give them an answer soon after offering it, try and stall it to much and they could retract the offer.

    After the interview, were you happy with what you had learned about the company and still wanted to work there? If yes, take the job and cancel the future interview.

    Is the future interview with a better company with better pay, that you want more than the job you've currently been offered? How risk averse are you? If you can tolerate the risk then let go of the offer and go do the other interview, accepting the outcome as it arises. If the risk doesn't seem worth it to you, take the job offered and cancel the future interview.

    I dont know anything about pay for either Job and I hven't researched the second company that much yet, but I have been in contact with one of the senior managers and he seems a really nice man.
    I can't risk a situation where if I wait to meet him in 2 weeks time and I don't get an offer and then have possibly lost the original one. I haven't been offered that yet either but I left the Interview with a really positive feeling
