Because if I either decline it or take it and quit, then I ruin the relationship. They went to bat for me for no reason and made themselves look bad. I like doing my job search solo.
So tell them thank you for the referral and continue searching for your own position or tell them you are searching on your own and do not need their help.
Are you kidding?! Nowadays most people would kill to have the inside track on a job opening. Have you ever heard of the phrase "work smarter, not harder"? Why are you going to pound the pavement looking for a job when you have family members who can cut the red tape?

They went to bat for you because they care about you, first and foremost. Family members and people who hire employees' family members know they run the risk of talent, work ethic, etc. not turning out to be genetic or contagious. Also, how many jobs have you quit?

I had to quit a job my friend got me. It was awful. First it wasnt even in the field I studied. Their idea of training was having me learn from an incredibly rude coworker who didn't want to help me. I was given a "for dummies" book for training. Not kidding. On my third day, they gave me a report to do with awful instructions and got mad at me for not doing it properly. They had me do a conference call within the first week with a client even though I had no experience at all. The commute sucked and there was much more.
I don't talk to that friend anymore. That made me weary of anytime anyone I know tries to help me.
So why do you think they had you read the "for dummies" book? Sounds to me, from my vantage point, that they were giving you a shot even though you had no experience, the rest was up to you. Why don't you talk to that friend anymore? Was it their fault the job didn't work out?

ACCEPTING what they find is a different matter.
Don't confuse your poor decision making with their kindness.
