FAQ
Here are the steps you can follow to write a letter rejecting a job offer you have already accepted: Be certain about your decision to reject the job offer. Check your contract. Act quickly. Think about alternatives. Use a straightforward and honest approach. Show gratitude. Pick up the phone. Learn from the experience.
Express Gratitude: Start by thanking the person for their offer. - Example: ``Thank you so much for your offer to help. State Your Reason (if comfortable): You can provide a brief reason for declining, but it's not always necessary. Keep the Door Open: If appropriate, let them know you might reach out in the future.
Thank you for your generous offer to join Company as Job Title. I sincerely appreciate the offer and your interest in hiring me. After much deliberation, I will not be accepting the job offer, as it is unfortunately not the right fit for my career goals/interests.
I want to express my sincere appreciation for offering me the position of Job Title at Company Name. While I am grateful for the opportunity, I have decided to respectfully decline the offer as I have received an offer that better aligns with my career goals and aspirations.
Thank you for this opportunity to work for your company. I appreciate it very much, but I'm afraid I need to decline your offer at this time. Thank you for this offer, as well as the time you've invested in my candidacy. I'm afraid, though, after careful consideration, I've decided to stay in my current role.
``Thank you for the offer. It wasn't an easy decision, but I've decided to take a role with another company. I really respect the catalogue of work from (your company), and hope we have a chance to work with each other at a later time.''
Keep it short and to the point. For example, your email could say something like, thank you for offering me this position-- it's a great opportunity. However, after careful consideration, I have decided to accept a role with another company. Or I have decided not to move forward with this position.
Yes, by all means retract your acceptance, and be honest about your reasons; they are valid and perfectly understandable. I would phone them so that they are aware ASAP that you are no longer available, and follow it up with a letter thanking them for their offer and that you regret not to be able to accept it.
How to decline a job offer Start with appreciation. You might have several reasons for declining a job offer, and regardless of those reasons, you should decline the offer in a polite, respectful manner. Explain your decision. Give a reason politely. Be clear, concise, and respectful. Stay connected. Send it promptly.
You don't burn bridges if you respectfully decline any offer of employment. Just say, ``Thanks for the wonderful opportunity; I really wish I could work with you but I just accepted something else.'' You don't owe them an explanation of why.
