Fantastic, you've just been offered a job! And since you don't feel so good in your current job, you're jumping for joy. Perfect. Well, almost... Take the time to:
Check if this position fits your career plan.
A new job is exciting, no doubt. However, give yourself 48 hours to think things over, to be sure that what is being offered fits your expectations and the career project you have in mind. Is this offer in line with the goals you have set for yourself? Think back to your wishes and compare.
In any case, ask yourself questions and dare to ask them to the person who contacted you.
Check if the terms of the contract appeal to you.
Carefully examine the terms of the contract offered. What are the advantages offered, the constraints, the facilities, the dangers in the short, medium and long term...? Remember that you are committing yourself for a given period and that it is useless to "let go of the prey for the shadow".
If this offer doesn't resonate with you, ask yourself what you are specifically looking for. Review your job search by trying to more precisely define each of your professional expectations. Also question the message you are sending in your applications.
However, if you are currently unemployed, the angle of decision is somewhat different. Indeed, do not lose sight of the fact that getting back to work can "boost", recreate a new will, confidence and energy and that, even if it is far from your professional aspirations, this position could prove profitable in terms of new opportunities.
Check if this position offers new perspectives.
Whatever the case, before you decide, carefully observe how this new job can offer you new directions, or even a new vocation, in the long term. Don't limit yourself, don't think you would be making a mistake if it turns out that the proposed field is a little different from yours. Rather, look at how it would allow you to acquire additional assets, useful skills, which would allow you to subsequently move into an attractive field. Don't force anything but don't close yourself off to anything!
Furthermore, even if you have the feeling of entering the company through the "small door", don't forget that, very often, this first allows you to get a foot in the door and that the missions evolve quickly...
In the end, it is very likely that your current material, professional and psychological needs will be decisive in your choice, hence the need to question yourself personally and thoroughly.
