Fairly simple, compliment their Firm, thank them for their time, and say you are unable to accept the offer. Don’t be too complimentary or it looks suspicious, as in, why are you passing if the Firm is so great. Be prepared to answer, “What else can we do to get you comfortable with the offer?” Firms understand that folks are interviewing with multiple companies now.

My temp contract has been extended. I’m relieved to be able to pay the bills, but after giving 70-80 shots a day, I literally dream about giving vaccines almost every night! Struggling to keep positive about finding a new permanent job - I was laid off at the end of April, have applied to over 60 jobs, had 6 interviews, and no offers. I can’t go back to chain retail - it damn near broke me in my 20’s, and it’s much worse now.
