How to GRACIOUSLY turn down a job offer WITHOUT burning the bridge!
Sobre este episodio
<p>One minute you're in the job seeking trenches, PRAYING you'll receive ANY offer and before you know it, you've been offered multiple opportunities all at once, and have to decide which to decline.</p><p>Sound familiar? It's a conundrum we see ALL the time!</p><p>In this week's episode, Sarah and Emma discuss how to gracefully turn down an offer or role.</p><p>We discuss what this should look like, depending on what stage of the recruitment process you're in. Because pulling out of the race before you've even sat your interview is very different to pulling out after you've signed a contract.</p><p><strong>Side note:</strong> If you haven't already listened to our power move episode about juggling multiple offers. <a href="https://podcasts.captivate.fm/media/14b8c28a-74c6-422a-8a6e-3674f9aa860a/842869.mp3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to listen</a>, and come back to this episode afterward!</p><p>Goodluck and remember, having too many offers is a GREAT problem to have!</p><p>🏀 Shoot Your Shot - Shoutout to Adam Gee who bought us 3 coffees!</p><p>“Emma and Sarah, the real bosses!! I found your podcast while preparing for an interview for a Graphic Design Manager position. I listened to the entire "Prepare for your Interview" Playlist, and then some!! Your advice, confidence, and above all, your humor got me feeling fully prepared. I played my power song (Van Halen's 'Jump') and walked into the conference room with confidence. I aced the interview and got the job!! Now I am going through your "How to Resign" episodes so I can quit my current job with class 😎 I'm sharing your podcast with everyone I talk to. Cheers to you both and thank you for the amazing content!!”</p><p>📄 To get step by step help with your interview prep on demand check out our Interview Academy <a href="https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.interviewboss.com.au/interview-academy</a></p><p>☕ Did our podcast help you out?
