How To Accept Job Offer?

I am going to mail my acceptance letter to HR and the person who hired me. I feel like I should accept verbally as well. However, the person who hired me is a VP and always super busy and I really don’t feel like I should call him. Can I leave a message with his secretary or email him? Or should I just suck it up and call him directly at the risk of being annoying?

    You should go ahead and call the person that interviewed you. If it was the VP then definatly just give them a quick call to let them know that you are accepting the position.
    Make sure you follow up with the letter though. A formal acceptance letter may seem like a hassle, but it does wonders for your credibility with your future employer.

    If they gave you paperwork to fill out and sign, that’s all you need to do. You got the offer, there is no need for sucking up now. If they needed a verbal, they would call YOU.

    call him directly, you will not be annoying, or call HR directly. Do it

    Call directly! Something as important as a new hire should go to the source.
    Congratulations on your new job!

    just mail your letter
    you can always thank him in person when you have started work and proved your worth.
    well done on getting the job i wish you every success

    Oh yea..give them a call & let him know so he won’t make an offer to someone else.
    If you only send it to HR..they might not communicate it in time to the VP.
