I wanted to ask a question .My sister in Pakistan has been offered aHR job from an international bank and as of now she cannot accept it since she has 2 more semesters to go before she graduates. The question is that she didnt expect it but was offered through a referal and she hadnt applied either.Anyway Long story short , more or less she hasnt replied back to them as she cannot accept it,and she thinks that thats the way to go(inexperience:)). I on the other hand have told her to meet the manager in person and explain her situation…and then decline., but yet keeping the good terms.I dont know how usually this thing should be handled.It is a very good offer package wise and again the company is pretty good too and woul be perfect lest it was a bit in the future. Any suggestions?

Ask99,
hi. be honest with them and let them know your situation, in this case, your sister’s study time line's progression will if any event make her better trained for the HR position she is being offered prematurely in terms of successful ending of her academic career.
another thing, she can opt to study a semester and work during or before a semester’s break, depending upon if it is feasible for her financially and for the company, organizationally.
if approached with a well presented case that does not reflect being arrogant or undermining the organizational needs, the interviewer will understand and actually indicate that the org will look forward to seeing the person once studies are over.
perhaps to better impress them, she can write her case study paper on organizational course work, by writing about this org. it will give her a benefit for having studied and incoroprated this org's related information which can be publically disclosed and elaborated upon for evidence based success and for educational purposes.
best,

Thank You Dushwari for your reply.Im going to convey her this :)
Re: -------How to keep Good relations with a company whose job offer has to be declin
As it was suggested, be honest.
Instead of declining try to work a deal with the company. Tell them that she really want to work for the company and does not want to pass the opportunity, but she must finish her education. Ask then to move the start date after she graduates and in the mean time she can work as a intern or parttime employee. I have seen that happen before :)
Good Luck,
