[QUOTE="M777, post: 81406, member: 2524"] Hi Jessica, I was just wondering if you had any tips for how I can politely decline a job offer without leaving a bad taste in the firm's mouth? In this case, I am declining a paralegal offer at a regional firm because I am now pursuing + interviewing for other paralegal positions, which are more relevant to my London commercial law plans. The firm also wanted me to be a more permanent member of the firm (I quote- "we don't like people who leave after 12 months and take the skills we gave them elsewhere"), whereas I see paralegalling as a stepping stone to develop my skills + experience. I also need flexibility for vac schemes and TC interviews, which a permanent paralegal contract can't offer me. Any advice you offer is greatly appreciated. *Would also note I have been given seemingly no time to consider the offer before accepting! [/QUOTE]
