offer letter

I thought the person who interviewed me would tell me as all other places do without me asking. I hesitated and did not say anything , hoping I would hear as we have spoken and also emailed. I have to say it is my responsibility but on the flip side I worried that the interviewer would think I just wanted to think of money. Interviews are very hard for me as i become anxious and worry that I will blurt something dumb out of my mouth. Thanks for your response .

It's okay to think of money when it comes to employment. I am quite sure the interviewer understands that no one is working for free and that money is a consideration for nearly any adult seeking work. You would be totally in the right to inquire about that. I can understand that you didn't, as I used to be (and still am, to a certain degree) shy about asking questions like that. But you should take this as a need to assert yourself. Yes, they should have told you, and I'm curious as to why they didn't. You have an email address and can use that to ask questions if doing it on the phone doesn't work for you as well.

Every offer letter I've ever received, for nursing jobs and other jobs as well, has always included basic information about the job, including the pay rate. Signing the offer letter was how I accepted the job. In fact, I don't consider I really have a job until I have a written offer letter stating the particulars and my signature is on the bottom of it.

If you don't get an offer letter by Monday or sooner, you'll have to work up the courage to contact whomever you talked with and find out the details. Best wishes and congrats on the new job.

I sit on a lot of interview panels. We never discuss salary, as that is determined by the HR department after the interview.

Thanks everyone for your insight. I have already had my interview and cannot come inside the ( correction Center) before I receive and sign the letter. I have not received it yet but I will post an email today to the lady who interviewed me when I should look for the letter. She was the one who told me what date to come in and time. She also said HR will be the ones who send the letter. I hope it comes soon as I still have the option to change my mind if the letter is not within reason. I want to stay positive and nor rush things as they have to have time to set everything up. it is the money area where I am shy but I am assertive with what I would be doing and how the company works together as a team with good outcomes. I truly thank everyone who answers. If I never receive a letter, It would not be the end of the world for me. I would only be curious as to why not.

Whenever I've been given a verbal offer (before the written one), the salary has always been disclosed at that time. (I've even had recruiters tell me the salary/wages before the interview.) Were you given a verbal offer? I was under the impression that you had been given one. Or are you just waiting to see if you got the job? If you are waiting to see, yes...the letter should give details.

I received the offer letter today along with all the info to fill out. It had the pay rate offered in the letter. I am happy either way, just different way of doing things.
