How do you politely decline a job offer, after an interview, if you don't believe the job is for you?
You just write a letter or email explaining that you have decided upon reflection to turn down their offer of the job. Thank them for their time, that you enjoyed meeting them at the interview and if you can say anything nice that you learned about the company at the interview say that too.If you can tell them honestly why you are turning it down without sounding either critical of the company or sound like you knew you’d be wasting their time because you weren’t serious (I don’t think you were, but it’s important to make sure it doesn’t come across as if you were) then tell them why.Otherwise, just saying, as above, that upon reflection you really feel that this position is not a good match for either what you are looking for or for your skills (whichever is closest to how it really is) is just fine.Just as they were under no obligation to offer you the job as a result of the interview, you are under no obligation to accept it. As long as you turn them down politely and promptly (so they can still hire their second choice) that is perfectly OK.
Is it alright to decline a job interview offer because the job location is too far from your home?
Yes, it is absolutely alright to decline a job interview offer if you feel that the location of work is too far for comfort. In fact, it is completely okay to decline any interview offer that comes your way if you think that it won’t be a good fit.However, in general, I advise people to take an initial phone screen anyway. You never know what the opportunity entails until you spend some time exploring. The employer may be opening up a new office close to where you live. They may allow you to work from home a couple of days a week. They may allow you to work remotely. They may want to pay you a LOT to work for them. You won’t know the answers to any of these possibilities unless you try.Of course, if you feel that it will be a total waste of your time than don’t do it. You can reject an interview offer because the location is too far from home, but I would advise against rejecting a call for solely that reason. Good luck!
Is it rude to bring coffee to a job interview?
Yes, it is rude. It signals you're not taking the interview very seriously, and frankly? Have you ever watched someone eat or drink while trying to converse? They will be able to hear you slurp and swallow, and if your stomach should happen to gurgle? What if you need to burp? Kinda gross, if you're not eating or drinking. *Such* a bad idea. Get a small and drink it on the way - and bring some minty gum or breath mints. Good luck.
Politely decline interview via email?
How about something along the lines of... "Thanks very much for your offer of an interview, which I had scheduled for XYZ date. I'm writing to let you know that I've decided not to pursue my application to XYZ University any further. I'm very grateful for your time and consideration, and wish you the best." You don't need to explain why (though they might follow up and ask--some schools survey applicants who turn them down, to have a better idea who they're losing out to--but even then, telling them is optional). Just be polite, and grateful (you never know how things might change--no sense in burning a bridge there!), and tell them far enough ahead so that they can reschedule the time for someone else. That's really all that's necessary.

Is it rude to decline an interview if you previously told a recruitment agency you were interested in the job?
Absolutely not Rahil!If the agency nor the company have not totally convinced you that the opportunity is right for you, then you must withdraw and the sooner the better.Now I will add, some shallow and non-respectful recruiters will get upset and may even ‘bad mouth’ you. If they do, then it shows you were right to withdraw - they are obviously un-professional and only interested in number not the people.

How to decline a job offer from a staffing agency?
You essentially did the right thing, the only thing I may have done differently would have been to call them personally instead of declining via e-mail. I know this would be a bit more difficult but never the less the right thing to do. Based on the way this seemingly commission only driven company conducted themselves, I would consider their unprofessional handling of rejection a clear indicator that this is a company you should be happy never to deal with again. Good luck with your new job!
