Here are some proper ways to accept, or decline, a job offer:
- Accepting a high level job.B You will likely be presented with both a verbal and formal offer letter. Along with your signed offer letter, and a letter of written confirmation, you should also accept the job verbally. This means contacting everyone with whom you interacted during the interview process.
