And the beat goes on
5/6 I get the offer for job 1, expecting to start on 5/16.
5/9 I take the interview for job 2.
5/11 I take the second interview for job 3.
5/13 I get a call from job 1 saying they didn't have the laptop and desk ready for me, so I'll be starting 5/23 ... probably.
An hour later I get the offer for job 2. (Better offer.) Projected start date 5/23 - as long as the background check comes back before then.
5/18 I get an email asking to call 5/19 to discuss the offer for job 3.
Don't get me wrong, it's a good problem to have. But damn, people, you've got to get me in the door if you want me to stop talking to other people.

Are these written offers?
That qualifies as "getting you in the door", in my book.
If it's just verbal, then yes, it's not worth the paper it's written on.

Not cynical enough
Ohio is a "right to work" state. If you're not up to date with the Orwellian/American translator, that means employers can terminate employees at any time for any reason, or no reason. And that's after you're working for them.
As far as I'm concerned, "in the door" means in the door.
