Having worked in workforce development and career services for several years, I know that there can be a level of frustration on behalf of the recruiter/job developer/employment counselor when their candidate does not accept a job that they are offered. There is often pressure to ‘make placement numbers’ from management but not every job is a fit for every person.
After you have given thought to the opportunity presented to you but know that the job is just not a fit(even as a transitional job), a concern when you turn down the job is that the recruiter will lose confidence in you as a candidates and question if you are serious about looking for work. In a worst case scenario, you can be moved from a ‘most place able’ list to the bottom of the heap of resumes. Of course, the best in the business are understanding of this fact and will only look to match you with positions that are a potential fit for you.
How do you let the recruiter know that you are not interested while continuing to maintain a strong relationship?
Here is an example of what you can say:
"I appreciate your time in helping me find a job. I continue to be very serious about finding work and know that I would have been an excellent Store Manager. Unfortunately, the specifics of the job would not allow me to support my family long term or look for additional work at the same time. I would only like to enter into a situation that would be beneficial for everyone (including the good name of your organization) long term. I appreciate all that you are doing for me and hope you would consider me for other job opportunities closer to my field".
