I have put my resume out and I have a potential job offer, however, I am reworking my resume and feel like that will open up more doors to find a position in my field, HR. Do I politely decline and continue with my current employer until I receive an offer I can’t refuse?

Is the offer you’ve received recently in your field of interest?

Only you know what kind of job you'd love and what jobs don't check off end boxes for you'd to be satisfied, challenged and well compensated. If the current job doesn't excite you wait.

It's a "potential job offer" which is very different than a job offer.
Wait for a written job offer and decline if you decide it's not a fit.

I recently did the same thing (minus reworking my resume). Is the potential job offer what you are looking for with pay/job expectations/etc?
