"extending you an offer"

"Partner are currently completing the paper works required prior to extending you an offer"

Does that mean I may get the job?

Thank you,

Ume

Yes, congratulations, you have the job. Whether it is 100% definite or not depends on what they mean by 'the paperwork required'. It is probably just a case of drawing up your contract, so you have the job ok.

  • For example, in my country, people working with children or vulnerable people have to have police clearance.

Hello -

Thank you for your detailed explaination. So...."extending you an offer" here is same as "giving" and "making" me an offer? Haven't seen people use "extend" an offer that often, is it a formal word?

Thank you,

Ume
