Oh boy, It’s bad.
What’s the matter?
Did they offer you below your expectations?
Or, did you get a better offer from another employer?
You went through the entire interview process and did everything possible to secure that job offer, only to turn it down. You want to decline the job offer without burning the bridge.
You want to keep the doors open, but believe me when I say that employers despise candidates who turn down job offers. Instead, they’d be more than happy to address your concerns or renegotiate the offer.
Recruiters, employers, and HR managers spend hundreds of hours interviewing potential candidates to find one right fit for the position. Only to find out that the candidate has decided to turn down the job offer.
Of course, they’d hate it.
But, now that you’ve made your decision, let me help you figure out how to politely decline a job offer while keeping the door open for future opportunities.
You might need to go back to them.
You must understand the etiquette for declining a job offer.
This guide will help you navigate the storm you are about to get in. here is what you’ll learn here.
You must understand, as previously stated, that employers despise it when candidates turn down job offers. If you’re reading this, it means you appreciate and respect their time and efforts.
However, not all of them are the same as you. When they do not want to join the company, most candidates prefer to remain completely silent. They don’t answer the phone or respond to messages.
