So I'm in the enviable position of having gotten several job offers for next year, after I finish psych residency. I'm pretty sure which one I'm going to take. That means I will have to turn the others down. This includes 2 interviews I got through a recruiter. So I have to turn the recruiter down too.
Does anyone have any advice about how to do this and not walk away feeling like a horrible human being? These places were all incredibly nice to me, as was the recruiter. They paid for my entire interviewing trip. And I know what people say about recruiters but in this case, it was really helpful for me to talk to him.
I plan to call them all, thank them profusely for the offers and for the interviews, and tell them what I liked about their jobs, and mention one or two neutral sounding things that influenced my decision, like location. And then at one or two of the places I'll mention that I might be interested again in the future.
Does this sound like a plan? Anything else I should know? Never having had a dime of my interviewing expenses paid in the past, I am feeling really guilty about this process!
