so i turned down this job

Basically I hate my job and want out. I was meant to start a new job on 31 July but turned it down. Could I go back to the company and say I am still interested.

If so, what should I say?

    I should imagine it depends how long ago you refused it. If just a minute ago then yes, if a week ago then no, they'll already have asked someone else.
  • Depends on what was wrote or said when declining? you can re-approach but my personal beware is you can be left feeling incredibly awkward, in a weaker position with the employer you would be re-approaching, that's also if the job is still available?

    Thanks you for your advice

    I turned it down last week and I turned it down because it was less money but now I have decided I want a change
  • Sorry but that particular boat has sailed.

    What has changed in a week?

    I wouldn't employ you after you'd turn down the job, but there is no harm in asking. If they're desperate they may still take you?
