[quote=Anonymous]I've never gotten as far as you in the process when needing to turn a family down, but my go-to excuse for turning down an offer is usually to claim that the commute is unsustainable. How personal are your own family circumstances? If its something simple, like say childcare for your own child changing and now you'll be looking for different hours, then I think it's fine to just tell them that. If its something more personal/difficult then I understand not wanting to disclose that to them. If neither of those works for you, then I do think its ok to cite their lack of communication. I would just be very delicate in how you phrase it, because while I don't blame you for needing to back out, it's still not exactly great on your part. What you wrote sounds ok, I would maybe just remove the "as I was in no position to wait around" as that sounds more accusatory than you probably want to be in a professional context. [/quote]
