I have been searching and searching for a new job. The job I was offered to start on Monday is great but another offer by a different employer came through the same day just later this after noon. I was really adamant about getting the job that I was offered first and it is a great part-time opportunity and I was really excited about it - but they other job is even better and is full-time, benefits, vacation, great hours, better pay. I accepted the first job early this morning but also accepted the better job this after noon. I don't know how to tell the employer that I accepted another offer especially since I was so persistent with them hiring me and since I had a great connection with them. I would like a special way to say thanks but I accepted another offer - maybe with a fruit basket for thanks.... how should I do it?
