I have to pen this. This is not the first time. Multiple incidence already. When a company offers you, please show your utmost respect to the hiring team as the team has worked so hard to get the hiring done - even if, eventually you shall disappoint them as you are considering the other offer in hand. As long as you show your professionalism by making your status clearly, it won't hurt the recruiters as much as compared to the attitude of being unreasonably silent, unresponsive to their messages begging for your reply to update on your current status or decision. What's more if you are a HR personnel, you are expected to show higher empathy on how hard it is to secure highly talented achiever like you. Be transparent. Stay responsive. You don't know if one day, the company that you used to decline shall offer you better position - just because your professionalism sticks in their head - and most importantly, your values imprint on their heart. If design is the silent ambassador of your product branding, hence professionalism is the silent ambassador of your personal branding. Echoing what Saraswathy Letchuman shared just now in my previous post, "Kita mudahkan kerja orang, nanti kerja kita akan dipermudahkan”, this has always been the case.
Couldn't agree more. Treat others as to how you want others to treat you.
totally agreed..same as my philosophy life or works- "Kita mudahkan kerja orang, nanti kerja kita akan dipermudahkan”
Very true.
Thank you for this Muhammad Za'im Mohamad Yusoff .. true indeed!

10moGreat point, Zaim! While your statement is spot on, I've noticed it often works both ways. Based on my past experiences, it's often the hiring team or HR that consistently ghosts the interviewee. It's reasonable to expect a response post-interview, even if it's a rejection. Knowing where we stand matters—it's about acknowledgment more than anything.
