If you have an option and someone makes you a firm offer for the same day you would normally do the following. 1. Say, I'm under option let me get back to you. 2. Call the option and say, I have a firm offer could you please confirm the option or release me. 3. Call back the firm offer and either turn down or accept their offer depending on whether or not you were released or confirmed by the option.<br />(Your option may be annoyed that they have to release you, but that is their problem, they can't keep you from a firm contract on the off-chance.)<br />Andy GilliesUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689317686080454293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707767193623614055.post-58227019579313419382016-05-15T01:22:04.318-07:002016-05-15T01:22:04.318-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689317686080454293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707767193623614055.post-64784623247742577762016-05-15T01:19:54.333-07:002016-05-15T01:19:54.333-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17689317686080454293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5707767193623614055.post-26468448216685187702014-05-06T07:09:13.370-07:002014-05-06T07:09:13.370-07:00As I (and the Oxford Concise Dictionary of circa 1...As I (and the Oxford Concise Dictionary of circa 1980 ;-) ) understand it, first refusal is "the right or privilege of deciding to accept or reject a thing before it is offered to others", in other words, you get offered the job first and if you can't do it they offer it to someone else.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353407436235667257noreply@blogger.com
