Declining a job offer in Australia after acceptance
I have 2 job offers in hand at the moment. I signed and accepted the first offer(sent the soft copy) thinking that I wouldnt get any other offer soon(this is a contract job for one year, which can be extended), but fortunately (or unfortunately) I got another offer which pays better, and gives me better exposure(this is a permanent position with a company)
I intend to go for the second one, but I would like to know if there are any implications in not joining for an accepted offer (a govt agency ). Could you guys please let me know your opinions..Thanks

If the second job is permanent & better paid, what's the problem? People accept jobs & then withdraw all the time.
Good luck

Re: Declining a job offer in Australia after acceptance
Thanks guys :-) .. i know i am not doing any breach of contract, but i was just worried of being the reason for wasting time and efforts of someone else.. and making another person probably lose an opportunity.. but i think i will take a decision here that I feel is the best for me.
