If i received an email requesting an interview with me for a job opening how can I reject that interview?

Answer 1

No matter what the reason behind your decision to back out from the interview, you have to write back politely explaining your decision immediately.

For an interviewer, nothing is more important than the honest reply from a prospective interviewee. This can save his/her time and move on looking for another suitable candidate.

Your prompt and polite reply does help a lot in this process and your response will be considered a smart and appropriate reply.

So the key is not why you want to quit the interview process, it is you have to keep a good impression in the mind of the interviewers. So response to them promptly and politely. To add to this, try phoning them back for a direct conversation. This even help ease the situation.

Remember, keeping the connection is important for you never know if you will be eligible for the next opening of the same company. Take this chance to demonstrate your ability to put yourself into their shoes. Show to them that you have considered their situation and you are trying to help by fast response to their request.

Answer 2

Use the same procedure you would use to refuse a phone or in-person interview. A possible reply might be, "Thank you for considering me for an interview. I have chosen to not pursue the opportunity at this time."
