There are rare times you may get “lucky” with multiple offers while job hunting.
When you receive 2 job offers at the same time, it is obvious you can only professionally accept one then reject the other.
In 2014, I got 2 offers about the same time. I found the offer from FMCG more appealing but the other has a bigger title and better pay😀. I had clear career goals and money wasn’t what would propel me to achieving my goals that time. Then I picked my phone and began to reach out to friends and contacts who needed jobs badly. Then, I found one who was a perfect fit.
Again, please don’t just reject the other, recommend someone for that role.
This is how you do it:
When sending your rejection email, ask the person you recommend to send you his/her CV and attach it, with few words like a cover letter why the person will be the right candidate for the job. Follow up with additional conversation with the hiring manager and HR on the candidate you are referring.
You have absolutely nothing to lose.
Doing this little act of kindness also help put a smile on someone’s face and put bread on a family’s table.
