Question

You are a junior in college. You sent your resume to a half-dozen companies hoping to get a summer internship. Two weeks ago XYZ Corporation contacted you and offered you a paid summer internship. One week ago you accepted their offer, agreeing to start work a week after your last final exam. Today you received a much better internship offer from ABC Corporation. What should you do

Answer 1

Answer:

I would politely reach out to XYZ organization and let them know I won't be taking them on their offer

Explanation:

In this particular situation, there is no legal binding in this agreement to start work. There is no responsibility from me to XYZ corporation.

If this new offer excited me more than what XYZ corporation has offered, then I have to decide which company i would decide to do my internship with. So I would have to politely decline the offer from XYZ.
