Brak wants to know, "How do you politely turn down a job offer due to far location"

Question

I got a job offer & it's really good but it's so far away and I'd rather work closer to Raleigh than out in Sanford.

How can I turn it down without getting on a bad foot with the staffing company?

Answer 1

Just politely tell them that you're flattered at the offer but you aren't looking for a commute that's that long.  Be honest and polite and it will be no big deal.  Also, you might want to tell your staffing company what a reasonable commute for you would be so they can narrow their search.

Answer 2

i would love to take the job however the distance is an issue

Answer 3

tell them u owe someone money in sanford and they might find u and kill u if u go there

Answer 4

just tell the staffing company that it is a lovely job offer but it is too far away for you to reasonably consider. you should not be expected to have to move house or leave your family or community for a temporary position.

besides that, with today's economy and fuel prices, it is not feasible to drive to someplace that far away

Answer 5

Brak could just eat them?
