YNRA 1,082 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 so i applied to a job on my campus to work in marketing for our food on campus when i interviewed, the person loved me and i said i was the only person they were interviewing for it because they liked my resume so much and they asked if i can quit my other job and work full time and i said yes. so they offered me the job right away. in the interview, i acted like i really wanted the job too. but now im really regretting it...i already accepted the job and they hired me. i didnt finish the paperwork but they want me to start asap. im having second thoughts because i dont want to quit my other job. also i dont want to be so busy all the time this semester because it means my social life will fall apart. also its looked down upon on my campus to work in the dining halls and sometimes i see the marketing person work there doing busy work like giving out food and shit which i really DONT want to do. i told myself ill never work another food job again.... i dont need the money, or the job but i applied just because i thought i might as well because next semester i have not much going on. plus the job seemed more enticing then at the interview when they explained stuff i dont know what to do now....they were so excited to hire me and asked me to get back to them when i finish the paperwork...but i really dont even want to work there anymore... i dont know if i should test it out for a few weeks then quit if i hate it or i should just email them right now and tell them i accepted another job or something... PLEASE HELP! i dont know what to do!! if i email them what should i even say?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cara 31 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 if you only applied so you have something to do next semester and you're feeling like this about it, i don't think it's worth it. im sure you can find other ways to keep yourself busy next semester without causing yourself this much stress. you may feel bad towards the people who wanted to hire you but you have to do what's best for yourself first and, honestly, it was foolish of them to only interview one person if they had other applicants. if you email them, just say you've had more time to think about it and you're not prepared to give up your other job or something and thank them for the opportunity. i hope you work this out soon!!

Slerian 46 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 If you don't need the money and are already loathing the idea, the best thing you can do for everyone is to not take it. You don't sacrifice your time doing something you hate, they don't employ someone who'll be working at half capacity, and some person who needs the money more gets a job they needed. Be honest but vague, tell them as soon as possible so they can look for someone else, and stay in the job you don't want to quit right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorkyu 776 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Just be honest. Tell them something along the lines of "After further consideration, I've decided not to take the job for personal reasons." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
