Two job offers...accepted both.

I left my weekend house supervisor position in SNF because after 13 yrs, I've had enough. I went on 2 interviews and I was offerred a per diem weekend position at HH agency. Problem is I really need full time since I'm taking such a pay cut. The director says she will try to keep me busy all weekend and there is extra $$ for taking call.

Then, the other interviewer called and offerred me full time on-call (salaried) hospice HH weekends. And....they provide cellphone, laptop, and I get to use the company car. So thats perfect...BUT I accepted the first position already and I have them trying to come up with enough work fo me and I feel really bad about declining now. I know I can't still pick up per diem because I'm "on-call" at the full time place. So I guess my question is how best to go about telling the first job I'm no longer available.

TIA

    Been in that position once, but arn't you lucky to have two offers to choose between? If you know that the 2nd offer best suits you, don't feel bad about

    turning the other job down. They do not need to know the reason. Just tell them

    like I did, after much consideration, while you do appreciate the opportunity to work with them, you have decided it best you decline the offer. Keep it short, most will be very thankful that

    you declined before orientation started, then decided it was not the right fit for you.

    I did accept the full time hospice position. I informed the other place of this and she thanked me for being honest and said if I was ever looking for something per diem on my off days to give them a call.

    So far, enjoying my second week of orientation in hospice.

    Thanks for the advice.
