Ask what is different
Find out whether the proposed assignment changes the clientele, procedures or tasks. Do not assume that the word VIP identifies a promotion. Request the actual responsibilities and the support available so you can compare the role with your current work.
Consider the whole arrangement
Review pay, hours and how breaks are covered. If you will coordinate others or handle additional information, ask what preparation is provided. A larger headline amount may not compensate for an arrangement that is unclear or incompatible with your limits.
Make a deliberate choice
Think about whether you want more responsibility, a different routine or greater stability. You can decline an assignment without dismissing your existing experience. Before accepting, confirm the new conditions in writing and clarify how the initial period will be reviewed with the supervisor.
