Accepting or declining a Hong Kong job offer

Review the written terms, confirm the deadline and respond clearly.

Review before accepting

Check the role, pay, start date, location and other written terms. Ask about anything unclear. If you need more time, request a specific response date before the deadline.

Example acceptance

“Thank you for the offer. I am pleased to accept the [role] position and look forward to starting on the agreed date. Please let me know the next steps and documents required.” Adapt this to the actual terms and process.

Example decline

“Thank you and the team for your time and the offer. After careful consideration, I have decided not to accept this opportunity. I wish you success with the search.” Respond promptly and courteously without sharing another employer’s private details.
