I want to let you know that I have accepted a position with another company. Thank you very much for your time and consideration and good luck on filling your position."

Great job all around!
Originally Posted By HRM gardenrooms during my job serach, i actually called prospective employers to follow-up.... three of them actually said they would call me back, usually within 24 hours because they wanted to speak with me about further oppotunities... WELL their phone call never came, and when I called again, they said they were still interested and would call me back... but no follow-up phone call. HMMMM
