hey everybody Don Georgevich here
with job interview tools so what do you
do when you get two job offers starters
you jump up and down for joy because
most people are they're not getting any
job offers and you just got to so pat
yourself on the back that's a good thing
you worked hard you did a lot of
interviews to get to job offers now
obviously there's one that you prefer
over the other I don't know which one
that is but you do so how do you turn
down the job offer that you don't want
because you spent a lot of time with
this company you might have probably
gone on three or four different
interviews maybe spent four hours
probably negotiated salary with them and
then they gave you the job offer so that
means they got to know you like you and
trust you and then now you're gonna say
no thanks I'm gonna go over here I mean
it hurts it's I mean part of you feels
bad because you spent and you know maybe
even wasted some of their time maybe you
feel that you wasted their time so how
do you go in there and very politely let
them down that you're not gonna accept
the job offer that you want to go over
here instead well it's simple you pick
up the phone and you give them a call
that's the best way I don't like to do
it an email it's just a little
impersonal so easiest thing to do is
pick up the phone give them a call talk
to them and thank them for their time
thank them for the opportunity that they
gave to you and be so kind and
considerate and just tell them that I
found something else that that just
means a little bit more to me than this
I still like this but this one just
means a little bit more to me and I'm
very sorry your company is definitely a
place that I would like to be but right
now I'm gonna go over here instead and I
hope you understand that and should our
paths cross again down the future I
would hope that you would consider me
for future opportunities now when you
put it like that which doing is you're
building a future relationship with this
company so let's just say for example
you call them and you declined their
offer then you go accept the offer from
the company
that you really want and let's say you
worked there for a couple of weeks or a
month and who knows maybe maybe you hate
it there or maybe they layoff I've seen
companies lay people off after two weeks
after they hire them bizarre but it
happens but let's just say you get laid
off you or you don't like it or maybe
six months down the road you like this
is not the place I want to be now you
have a friend on the other side you can
always call it that company and say hey
you know what it's not working out over
here for me is that job opportunity
still available or do you have anything
else and now you've got a friend you've
got someone who who may or may not help
you out maybe they'll have something
maybe they won't but you developed your
relationship to them to a certain level
where you know they got to know you and
they liked you so maybe they would
consider you at a future time and this
works this really works I have done this
before I have gone in I've gotten two
job offers and I said no to one yes to
the other and lo and behold ten months
later I get laid off happens company
went out of business I made the wrong
choice so what I did I called up the
other company and I said hey do you guys
have anything open and they said yes we
did why don't you come in in why don't
you come on in on Monday and we'll talk
about it I went down there on Monday I
had a job just like that so it always
pays to be nice to the people who are
offering you a job when you're turning
them down
it's as easy as that my friend all right
that's all I have for you good luck you
got you got two job offers pat yourself
on the back for that and I hope you
picked the right one and I hope you're
happy there and I'll see you in the next
video take care bye now
