Hi Everyone, How to turn down the offer and make HR aware politely about your decision? I have already accepted the offer 2 weeks back but I don’t intend to join as I have a better offer in hand.

Before proceeding, may I know if you've already started working?

No I have not started working yet

I would just be honest about it and let them know politely that you've accepted another offer and are rescinding your application/acceptance. They may not take it well but since you haven't started working I wouldn't worry too much about it. Be professional but firm.

+1, be direct, straightforward and nice - thank them for the opportunity, tell them you're accepting another offer and apologize for the inconvenience and ask to stay in touch. Those are the major points to hit

I am under qualified for a job that I KNOW I can do. They’ve asked for a certain number of years of experience and I don’t have it. However, I do have some experience in the exact requirements for the role. What can I do to position myself to get an interview from my resume alone? Should I add a cover letter? What should I include? I have 2-3 YOE, but they’re asking for 5.

I understand I'm a new grad and all, but is this a low-ball offer?
