Dear Contact Name, I want to thank you for your time and offer to join the Department Name team at Company Name. I regret to inform you that after further consideration, I will have to withdraw my acceptance for the role of Position Title with the company.
How to politely decline a job offer after accepting Don't ghost - communicate. Be aware of their feelings. You don't need to share your reasons. Don't dwell on the negatives. Have a chat before you send the email. Avoid unnecessary negotiations. Keep in touch. If you're accepting a different offer:
- Be Direct and Honest: Clearly state that you are rescinding your acceptance of the job offer. - Express Gratitude: Thank the employer for the opportunity and express appreciation for their understanding. - Keep It Professional: Avoid going into too much detail about your reasons unless you feel comfortable doing so.
In most cases, you can decline a job offer after you have accepted it. If you've signed an employment agreement, check the legal implications before you withdraw your acceptance. If you can, it's better to have a conversation in person or on the phone to explain why you have decided not to take the job.
Email Withdrawing Application for Employment After careful consideration, I would like to withdraw my application for the job. I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to interview me and to share information on the opportunity and your company. Again, thank you for your consideration and the time you shared.
Once an offer has been accepted, it cannot be withdrawn without there being a breach of contract. However, if the offer hasn't yet been accepted, withdrawal is possible. Time and explicit wording will both be critical, and it will also be necessary to prove that the employee received notification of the withdrawal.
Speaking to them in person is best; however, it may be more practical to call them. State clearly that the offer is being withdrawn and tell them why. If the withdrawal is due to internal issues, be honest about that. You don't need to divulge company secrets, but let them know your circumstances have changed.
Say something akin to: ``I'm sorry but after our interview I realized that the position being offered is not going to be a good fit for me and I must decline your offer. Thank you for your time and consideration and I wish you the best of luck in finding the right match.''
Unfortunately, due to changes in my personal situation, I must rescind my acceptance of this offer. I truly apologize for any inconvenience this causes you. I am very grateful for the opportunity to work at , and I wish you all the best going forward.''
- Be Direct and Honest: Clearly state that you are rescinding your acceptance of the job offer. - Express Gratitude: Thank the employer for the opportunity and express appreciation for their understanding. - Keep It Professional: Avoid going into too much detail about your reasons unless you feel comfortable doing so.
