Depending on how many interviews they have conducted and/or have scheduled will probably keep them from hiring you right away. However if they feel just completely blown away and are afraid of losing you, especially to their direct competition, they may make you an offer right there on the spot, DO NOT ACCEPT IT. Very politely ask them if you can take last year’s annual report home with you, as well as the offer, and ask if you can have at least until the next afternoon so you and your spouse have time to review it all. If not married, don’t lie, just tell them you need a little time to think about it all while he is alone and surrounded by a group of people, all seemingly holding their breath, awaiting a positive answer. Don’t worry, they’ll oblige.
Take the entire information home and actually read through it. Sometimes they have salary ranges broken down by position in the annual report, besides they will almost always give you a benefits manual so you can see what kind of health insurance they have, and do they have dental or vision, do they have a prescription plan, and do they offer disability insurance.
Make a list of pro’s and cons (if you haven’t already done so); you know things you are looking for from a company and qualities or policies they have that you may not like. If the pros out way the cons and you were pleased with interview and salary offer, then take the job, but wait for them to call you. If you call them they know they’ve got you, but if you wait they may increase the salary offer, thinking they may be competing for you against another company.
When they do call, accept the offer, if you hold out too long they’ll find someone else. They don’t want or need the cockiness everyday.
