Agree with the employer on a reasonable time frame to make a decision; during this time, if you are waiting to hear back from other companies with whom you have interviewed, contact them and find out when they will be making a decision, informing candidates, and, if you can, whether you are being considered for the position.

• Job content or nature of the work, and opportunities for future advancement
• Your future boss, co-workers and corporate culture
• Salary and benefits
• Typical work week
• Location
