Leaving new job for a better offer

[cogath]

I accepted a job that I am interested in because I didn't think anything else was going to come up. However, a MUCH better offer is potentially coming my way. I haven't started my first job but if I get the offer for the better job, how would you go about leaving without making waves?

i recently left a job after 3 months in, literally right after i got off orientation it was awkard but I had to do what was best for me. I must say I tried to do everything the right way but things did get nasty and they wanted 4 weeks notice so I gave it to them then they started treating me badly (not helping me as before, the charge nurse was assigning me to count the pyxis every day, and expecting me to clean up after the whole night shift) so I left a week earlier than planned. AFter 3 months at my new job i must say i dont' regret it at all, i love my new job!

Just tell the first situation that as it happens, you cannot accept after all. The "situation has changed" excuse works fine. This happens all the time in business, yours is no diffferent.
