How To Say, "Yes, I Accept Your Job Offer!"
A sample job acceptance letter should be kept on the computer of
job seekers to be customized for a new situation and used when
it is needed. A job seeker should also know how to use it, and
when to use it. With that in mind, a sample letter follows.
Date Name of Hiring Manager Company Address City Zip
Dear Hiring Manager's name,
It is with great enthusiasm that I accept your offer for
employment with Xyz Company. I look forward to a long and
mutually profitable relationship, and will do my best to live up
to the faith that you have shown in me through your decision to
invite me to become a part of the team here at Xyz.
I'm excited about the prospect of contributing to the great
success the company has had and look forward to this
opportunity. You will recall that my experience includes sales,
marketing and business management. I'm sure my skills will
translate well to the excellent environment at Xyz.
Again, I thank you for your time, for the confidence you've
placed in me, and for this wonderful opportunity to join the
team.
Sincerely,
John Doe
You'll notice that this sample letter is short and to the point.
It thanks the person who did the hiring without being sloppy or
overly sentimental. It also congratulates the hiring manager on
making a wise decision and choosing the right person, but in a
way that is matter of fact, and does not seem like bragging.
It is always a good idea to keep your
acceptance letter based on
factual, short, precise, and a bit formal. You are in the early
stages of the work relationship you are forming at this new
company, and want to put your best foot forward. This letter
will help you do that. You'll probably be excited and nervous
after being accepted for the new position, and writing a sample
letter before you are hired will allow you to do your writing
with a clear mind, undistracted by concerns about what you will
wear that day, or anything that came up in the conversation.
Using a letter like this is an example of doing your homework
and being a smart job seeker. In fact, you should also keep a
sample cover letter, sample follow up letter, and a sample thank
you letter for after the interview in your documents folder of
your computer, ready to customize as the need arises.
Smart job seekers do everything they can to present themselves
in the best possible light. That extra effort is what makes the
difference between a low paying job with little satisfaction and
a well paying start at a new career. Using samples of these
documents you'll use in a job search just makes sense and will
help you on your way to that satisfying new career.
