I am applying for 3 jobs that I would have a good shot at getting. Not to put the cart before the horse, but what is the proper thing to do if you get a job offer, but you are still waiting to hear on the results of another interview? Is it okay to "think about the offer" and for how long?

Yes it's okay to say that, but only for 3 days
If not accept the first job offered and then if you get a better offer call the first place back and tell them, something better came up

Try pushing the other companies to making a quick decision. Tell them that you have to make a decision on another officer within 3 days. If the other companies are serious they will move. Otherwise you will just find out sooner that they are not motivated.
Also think of other possible information you might want to know from the first company. Maybe request for more information about employee benefits, get to know more about the people you will be working with etc. Ask for information or meetings so you can delay the decision making for a few days. However, be careful that this may back fire. While you are learning more about them, the reverse is happening as well.
If you are working with a recruiter, it is much easier to have the recruiter make something up to stall the process for a few days.
Good luck.

If the different companies are intense they are going to pass. or you will only locate out faster that they are not motivated. additionally think of of alternative available innovations you desire to to understand from the 1st corporation. possibly request for extra innovations approximately worker advantages, get to understand extra in regards to the folk you would be working with and so on. Ask for innovations or conferences so which you will delay the alternative making for some days. in spite of the undeniable fact that, be careful that this would lower back hearth. once you're getting to understand extra approximately them, the opposite is occurring besides. while you're working with a recruiter, it quite is lots extra handy to have the recruiter make some thing as much as stall the technique for some days. stable luck.

Tell them that your grandmother has taken ill and that you are concerned only with her care. You will get back to the companies when your granmother either recovers or dies. That should buy you some time.
