It's been a week but there has not been any formal documents/ official appointment letter sent to me. A week after, I received a call from another ministry saying I was accepted and needed a referee check before offering. Should I proceed with the latter despite verbal acceptance of the former? Will there be any repercussions to rejecting a verbal offer acceptance?
You should really be more bothered about which job are you more interested in. If it's the 2nd offer then just go ahead, and politely inform the first HR. They will usually understand.
