but unlike a proposal, a job offer is based on a very limited knowledge of the other party (1-2 interviews, 3 tops in most cases), and it's generally a multiple-to-multiple relationship for both jobseeker and employer. So a proposal of a job offer is much less serious compare to proposal for marriage.
The buttomline is, unless it's in black and white (not even email), don't take it for granted that it's secured.
