Can I decline a job offer after accepting it?

Answer 1

Why would you decline it if, chances are, you wanted and/or applied for that job. ***Anyway you should probably say something (more or less) generic.***

***Like***:

• "I appreciate your offer, but I'm afraid I can't accept this job interview"(this sounds weird to me though)
• "I appreciate your offer, but I'm afraid I can't accept your offer"

***BE WARNED: job interviewers might ask why you are declining a job interview, I suggest being totally 100% honest in declining a job interview. You should also be prepared with your answer to their generic question of: "And why can't you accept this (offer)?"

Answer 2

Ask for time to make a decision on the job offer. say 10 days. Then contact the company you are still interviewing with and let them know you have an standing offer that expires on so and so date, then ask what the next step is (giving them the opportunity to try to speed things along if they really want you). Be sure to indicate that you are most interested in pursuing the opportunity with them but what to be sure of your prospects before making a final choice. Good luck!

Answer 3

Call back and say that you've already accepted another offer, and thank them for their interest in you.

Answer 4

I dont know , but please hurry and write something about this,

Answer 5

A letter that turns down an interview that has already been accepted, should include a reason for declining the interview. The letter should also include an apology for missing the interview.

Answer 6

Just say thank you for the interview but no I don't think this job is right for me, shake the hiring manager's hand, and leave

Answer 7
