Salesforce Career Seekers – there are times when we decide we’re not a fit for a particular position that we’ve interviewed for. 

One way to help keep the relationship in tact for the long term and to turn the disappointing news with the interviewing company into a positive one, is by referring someone else from your network that you know is actively looking and could be a better match based on what you’ve learned about the position and company (assuming it was a positive experience).

Turning down career opportunities can be a hard decision and can stir up some additional emotions, but providing an alternative candidate to the hiring manager or HR can also help show that you have an interest in helping them succeed.

A good way to build a stronger bond in both directions, as it’s often those small gestures that can have a much larger impact on your career somewhere in the unforeseeable future.
