Prepare for a Great Job Interview With These Questions and Answers

Recommended Answer:
I would suggest that you go anyways. It's just good practice to interview for jobs. And, you never know...the job you were offered might fall through for some odd reason (although that is a long shot). Or, maybe in another year you decide you don't like the job that you accepted with the other company and would like to reinterview with this company.

Just go for practice.

• If you have actually received an offer for the job and not just an interview with someone else then just call up and maturely cancel with them. Tell them that you would have liked to come in, but you were offered a position somewhere else. I would try to be as polite as possible, as to establish a relationship with them in case you ever need an interview again.
  
  On the other hand, I would go to the interview anyway. You might get there and realize that the people are much nicer, and the environment is much better suited for you. Then you could always turn down the offer if they decide to higher you.


• I would still go, because what happens if you end up not liking the new job. You may end up with another offer to fall back on. If you do like your new job and the new place offers you a job you can then politely tell them thank you for the offer, but the timing just isn't meant to be as you were already offered a job.edit: Also remember that when you interview for a job you are also interviewing the employer to see if that is a place you would really want to work at. Maybe the place you interview at today will impress you more than the company that offered you a job. You may find that you prefer the company you interview with today.


• Always notify the interviewer. Just tell the truth that you received and accepted an offer last evening and thank you very much for the opportunity to have talked to you, but you must cancel. They will certainly understand.


• Ring them, and say I would like to cancel my interview as I have been offered a post I would like to take. Thank you for the opportunity.


• i just put in an ap to work at mcdees hahaha
