New opportunity any advice

afsha

I currently work part-time but have an hours journey in and out of work (car).
I have managed to secure a full time position with a company in the city but it will take 40 mins each way (public transport). Also I would have prefered part-time.

I have been advised by many people that this company dont treat there employees well.

My questions are:- whats the best way to turn them down and should I ask them if I can be part-time.

Anyone on this forum worked for them Dell giant in Glasgow?

Sorry if posted in the wong place

Hello afsha

Apart from hearing the views of 'many people', another indicator of a poor employer is if they advertise for new staff often.;) If you've noticed that this firm has to advertise on a more than regular basis, it probably means that they can't retain staff.............and happy employees are less likely to leave.;)

I'm puzzled by your 'what's the best way to turn them down and should I ask them if I can be part-time' comment.

If they are a poor employer and you want to decline their offer of full time employment...............why would you want to work for them part-time?

Anyway, if you go with your gut feeling and still want to turn them down you could write something like:

Dear Sir

After careful consideration I have decided to decline your offer of employment with your company as (insert job title).

Yours faithfully
