How do you say you are not interested in an opportunity?
The best approach is to be brief but honest about your specific reason for not accepting the position, saying something like:
- After careful consideration, I’ve decided to accept a position at another company.
- After much thought, I’ve decided that now is not the best time to leave my current position.
Should I take a job I don’t want?
If a position is not perfect and does not have any benefits, there may be no real reason to accept the role unless you need a steady paycheck right away. If you can wait for a job that offers a benefits package, consider doing so. You’ll feel more stable, confident and happy with your new position if you do.

Do you need relevant experience to get a job?
When you don’t have much (or any) background in your desired field, it can be tough to get companies to take a chance on you. Often, you run into a paradox where you need relevant experience to get a job, but you need a job to get relevant experience.
Why am I not getting a job offer yet?
It is possible, for instance, that hiring managers are waiting on feedback from key stakeholders, or negotiating departmental funding. That is, there is a possibility that you will get a job offer even after getting one of these responses.
What does it mean when a company is going to interview other applicants?
Telling you that the company is going to interview other applicants means you’re not a top candidate. I’ll keep your resume on file. There are few things that get filed these days and your resume probably isn’t going to be one of them. This is a way for hiring managers to avoid saying directly that you will not be getting a job offer.
How long does it take to get a job offer?
Also keep in mind that it can take weeks to months to work your way through the process of applying, filtering, interviewing and getting an offer. Sometimes it is a good thing to do, just for the feedback. One day it will have to be done for real, and the experience gained will be invaluable.
