How do you let know the HR person that after the interview you don't want the job anymore?

Question

Of course, a professional answer that won't ruin my chances of eventually getting another job there later on?

Answer 1

"After careful consideration I believe the role is not entirely suited to my requirements at this point in time. I hope that this will not deter you from considering any future applications I may make. I wish you and the compnay the best regards and success in your future endeavours".

BE prepared to offer some feedback regarding your reasons these are personal so I can't help you there.

Think about what put you off, why and try and wrap it up in a positive manner or one that doesn't allocate all the blame to them.

It's more about the language you use always be positive.

The salary was offer was rubbish = I have slightly higher salary expectations.

The hours are too long = I'd be more comfortable with slightly reduced hours.

etc etc I think you get the idea...

In the officey HR world they are really sensitive to anything positive or negative so your choice of words has to be really subtle. Theses opportunities to reject them don't come around all the time so you should try and enjoy it :)

Answer 2

Be honest. Employment is a negotiation just like anything else. If you've found something else that is a better fit for you or you feel the job won't work for you the HR person and the company would rather know that now than after they pay to train you and get you hired. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Two ways:

1. Write a letter thankng them for the opportunity. And say you don't see yourself a fit with the company at the moment...Though don't get personal...like don't tell them that you don't like them because...the interviewer was rude...no diplomatic

2. Write them a thank you letter and then if the HR calls, just politely decline the offer because you found another avenue you wanted to pursue.

It's all about being diplomatic....be brief, short and sweet, and not to personal.

Answer 4

Why don't you want the position now? That reason in itself might be a good one.
Many companies don't keep a record of applicants. They only keep a record of people they actually had on payroll (showed up to work). If you tell them well ahead of time, they will just toss out the application and you can start over when you are ready.

Answer 5

Well, first make sure you absolutely do not want the job, because you can't change your mind later. I would call and say "I've reconsidered and I would like to remove my name as an interested candidate for the position of [executive secretary]." You don't need to give a specific reason, but it might be helpful for them to know.

Answer 6

Basically HR managers are too mature, and we do not have worry about that.

You simply mail that " I am not in the position to take the opportunity to accept the job offer, due to some reasons, thanks a lot"

It will not make any bad impact to them, and in future you can join the same orginisation.

Answer 7

You don't have to communicate with the HR person that you are no longer interested in the position.

Chances are they are not interested in you If they call to offer you the position, thank them and say you "changed your mind."

Answer 8

Ask them to withdraw ur application. Tell them u appreciate and thank them for their time effort n for considering u for the position. If they ask, say u decided to go elswhere. Say u would consider them again in the future.

Good luck.

Answer 9

Thank them for the opportunity and tell them that another came along that you could not pass up....good luck!

Answer 10

you don't.
However if you DO want the job then you write a note of thanks for the interview and let them know you're still interested.
