Deciding on an offer made on the spot
Question
If we offered you the job right now, would you accept it?
Short answer
Be enthusiastic but honest. If it is your first choice, say yes clearly; otherwise express strong interest and say you would like a short time to consider or discuss timelines, without playing games. Interviewers test commitment, so avoid sounding lukewarm.
