How To Decline A Job Offer

How do I decline a job offer?

Declining a job offer can be tricky. The last thing that you want to do is burn bridges with a potential employer. You never know if you might want to go and work for them sometime in the future. So be very gracious about declining the job offer. You might want to send a thank you note and a decline in writing. Certainly if you've had the opportunity to build some relationships with the people you've been interviewing with, you'll want to make a personal phone call. Chat with those individuals, thank them very much for their time, tell them how much you enjoyed meeting them, that you really appreciate the offer and hopefully you'd like to consider working for their company sometime in the future.
