How To Accept a Job Offer

Congratulations! You have worked hard and deserve to have this new opportunity. But your actions still matter even after completing all the interviews and receiving a job offer. Your final responsibility in your job search is to accept the offer professionally. Doing so will pave the way for your new role and responsibilities with a new company. Make sure that your follow-up does not lapse during this final phase of the process.

 

Below you will find a sample job acceptance letter that confirms what has already happened verbally and sets the stage for your start at the new company. Make sure that you have included the time and date of your first day of employment and that you reiterate your enthusiasm for the opportunity. It’s also a good idea to include the phone number where you can be reached prior to your start date so that your new manager knows where to reach you should any last-minute items come up.
