[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 127458, member: 2672"] 1) just email to say you will not be accepting the offer. They will need something in writing anyway, so email is the best bet. You don’t have to name firm A if you don’t want to, but I would say you have decided to accept another training contract elsewhere. They are likely to reply to you asking where you will be joining though (they like to know to understand who their competitors are), so if you are happy to disclose which firm it is with, then mention you will be joining firm A. Firms/recruiters are pretty used to rejections so I wouldn’t worry about it too much. If you have an offer that’s better for you, they will prefer you to go elsewhere. They will easily be able to offer someone else, so won’t be too fussed about you turning them down. They won’t care whether you call or email, but they will need something in writing anyway, so it depends on what you want to do/what you feel comfortable doing, as to whether you call first or not. 2) You can just wait for the outcome. No matter what the outcome, you can get feedback. I don’t think they will stop the feedback process just because you have accepted another role. Same goes with the above, you can call if that’s what you’d prefer but you’ll need to follow up in writing or withdraw your application on their applicant tracking system (if you can do this via their system).
