Identify the verb in the sentence. Did the ship leave on time?

Question 2

Poor Example of a Job-Refusal Message Saying no tactfully is important since future job success often is influenced by previous interactions with people in various circumstances. Rodrigo has received a job offer but has decided not to take the job. He sends the following job-refusal message to the company. Dear Mr. Pates: I regret to inform you that I must turn down your offer of the sales associate position. I have recently received an offer that provides more opportunity for growth and better monetary compensation. Given my personal goals, I believe that it would be a mistake for me not to take this offer. Thank you for your consideration. I wish you the best of luck finding someone who meets your needs. Cordially, Rodrigo Martinez Required: Rewrite the job-refusal message for better human relations.

Answer to Question 1

Did leave

Answer to Question 2

Mr. Pates:

I appreciate your spending time with me to discuss the sales associate position.

It was particularly helpful for you to explain the opportunities available with this position, as well as managerial possibilities with your company. Braedock Co. made me a similar job offer today, and I have accepted the position. I believe that Braedock's position is more consistent with my long-range goals in sales.

Thank you for your confidence in my qualifications as demonstrated by your job offer. I am sure that your company will continue its successful rise in the industry, and I will think often of the talented, committed people who work for your company.

Sincerely,

Rodrigo Martinez
