I'm a travel nurse, and my current recruiter won't quit pushing a contract that just gives me bad vibes, even though I've said no. How do you handle it when you're feeling pressured to take a job that doesn't feel right for you? I need advice on how to firmly decline without burning a bridge.

If you're being offered a contract that's unacceptable to you that's all you need to say. You know what's right for you. If there's the possibility of adjusting some of the terms so that it's agreeable to you that's may be a solution. If that's impossible, just be adamant. If someone is trying to pressure you into something you find unacceptable that's honestly a bridge that's worth burning.

Listen to your gut. And really, if they keep trying to force a job on you that you don't want, THEY'RE the one who should be worried about burning the bridge, not you. If they won't let up, you are free to take your business elsewhere. There are a lot of recruiters out there.

I was a traveler for 7 years. Some recruiters will say anything just to get the traveler in the door. They're not going to be the one dealing with the situation. Don't do it ifyou don't feel comfortable. You don't have to leave the agency, ust ask for a different recruiter. And if that doesn't work, change agencies. I worked with different agencies so I never was without a job. If one agency didn't have what I wanted, there was always another one who did. Trust your gut.

Honestly the answer is always no. Let them keep asking the answers still no!!!
