How to Accept and Decline Job Offers

I think you should also try to cover how to respond when the reason for declining an offer is low compensation.

Also, there seems to be some character encoding issues in the text.

Great suggestion. I have an entire section on responding to a low offer and negotiating the offer, with specific scripts in the upcoming book. I'll make note that it would be good to write about negotiations on the public blog as well, as I realize the book may not be the right match for people who aren't looking for jobs.

Can't find encoding issues on my end. Any specifics on that?

Since the page's character encoding isn't specified (at least I didn't see anything in the source or via HTTP headers), it's defaulting to a Western encoding rather than UTF-8 (at least here on Win7/FF 21).
