Knowing how to accept a job offer is key. Thank the recruiter, review the offer and follow up with questions and a counter offer before accepting the offer.Hello All, I applied for the position, and I got selected as a candidate. Is there anything I need to know, from a legal standpoint, if I were to back out of the signed job offer now? I am in California for reference. I have read and understood the provisions of this offer of employment, and I accept the above conditional job offer. If you decide to accept the job offer, it's advisable to communicate your acceptance in writing using an employment acceptance letter. You should be aware that this letter of offer is not necessarily a legally enforceable employment contract and that it is distinct from the worker's contract.
