text prompt
I need to decline a job offer from {{company}} for {{role}}. Reason: [accepted another offer / not the right fit / compensation / location / timing]. Relationship: [how positive was the process? anyone I want to maintain a relationship with?] Future interest: [might I want to work here someday?] Write a decline email that: thanks them genuinely for the opportunity and their time, declines clearly (no ambiguity), briefly explains my reason (honest but diplomatic — never burn bridges), expresses interest in staying connected (if genuine), and maintains the relationship for future opportunities. Write two versions: one for the recruiter/HR and one for the hiring manager (more personal). Include a LinkedIn connection message to send afterward.
