Ask HN: How to turn down a job interview

1 pointsby pmaover 9 years ago
I applied to 5 companies about 6-7 weeks ago.I got an interview in all but one.To cut the story short,I got offers from all of the four companies.I am thinking to myself which to pick among them.Now,today the last company emailed me for an interview(after 7 weeks or so).I am not interested in the company anymore.How do i decline the interview in a decent way?.

Just email back and let them know you are no longer available as so much time has passed. Don't burn bridges as you never know what the future holds. So a polite rejection should wok in this case.

<p><pre><code> I got offers from all of the four companies. </code></pre> Show-off.<p>;)<p>But seriously, courtesy is always appreciated, even when it is not returned in kind. A prompt, polite decline means they aren&#x27;t left hanging. Stay on good terms in case they acquire a place you <i>do</i> work later.

Just say &quot;I really appreciate your time so far but I have other offers which I am more interested in and don&#x27;t wish to continue any further with your interview process&quot;<p>Just be polite and don&#x27;t waste either your or their time any further.

Wait 7 weeks then say you&#x27;re not interested.
