It's always exciting when you have job options to choose from, even though it can be stressful to decide which position to accept.
Job seekers who are in high-demand fields and employees who have a strong track record of career success are often in the enviable position of being able to choose their next job from multiple opportunities.
What should you do? What's the best way to decide on the next step of your career path? Here are some tips.

Find the Best Fit

• Find the Best Fit
• If you have the right skill set and experience, you can afford to be picky. You will be able to leverage your advantage to land a job that's closest to your ideal position. You’ll also be able to choose a job that is the best fit for your circumstances and career goals.
• You don’t have to take the first job offer you get unless you're sure it's the perfect position for the next stage of your career.

Stay in Job Search Mode

• Stay in Job Search Mode
• Keep yourself in "continuous job search mode" so you're ready for opportunities as they arise. Keep all your job search documents up to date, especially your LinkedIn profile.
• Document your successes in your current job on at least a monthly basis and incorporate them into your resume. If your skills are in high demand, employers will often come after you, so be ready to respond to appealing options.

Create a Profile of Your Ideal Job and Employer

• Create a Profile of Your Ideal Job and Employer
• Creating a profile will help you identify attractive positions and pass on other jobs you don't think would be a good fit. Consider what type of employer would be perfect for your personality and work style.
• To do this, think about the elements of your current and past jobs that you have enjoyed the most and write them down. Some questions you can ask yourself are: 

What Else Would You Like in a Job? 

• What Else Would You Like in a Job? 
• You should also consider what might be missing from your current job. For example, if you enjoy planning events, are you doing enough event planning in your current role? 
• Perhaps your current job offers insufficient opportunities for advancement, or your boss is too autocratic and you’d like more freedom to make decisions and plan your workflow.

Consider Your Perfect Job 

• Consider Your Perfect Job 
• Take some online career assessments to help you to identify other values, interests, or personality traits that you might want to tap into your ideal job.
• The U.S. Department of Labor has a Work Values Matcher which asks about various aspects of a job or workplace to help you find your ideal work environment.
• You might also want to enlist the help of a career counselor if you are struggling to identify key aspects of your ideal career. If you have a dream company you'd love to work for, now might be the time to connect with them.

Know What You're Worth

• Know What You're Worth
• One of the advantages of being in high demand is the opportunity to upgrade your compensation. Research the going rate for your job through salary sources online, surveys by your professional organization, and informal networking with fellow professionals. Review these tips for determining how much you’re worth.
• Decide If You Want Higher Pay 
• If you think you should be making more, consider asking for a raise or targeting other jobs with higher compensation. Many employers will match an offer from another organization.

Assess the Skills Needed for Your Ideal Job

• Assess the Skills Needed for Your Ideal Job
• If the next job you’d love to have requires skills or knowledge that you don't fully possess, or you want to expand your current responsibilities into new areas, explore whether you can incorporate or build upon these skills in your position.
• This also could be an opportunity to change positions at your current employer if you're happy working at the company.
