The Five Signs of a Desperate Job-seeker

Forbes advised the five signs of a desperate job-seeker are:

1. Over-eagerness to return calls and emails instantly and to perform any task or assignment a hiring manager might dream up
2. A focus throughout the interview process on pleasing the people s/he meets (versus exploring the idea of collaborating, with value on both sides)
3. Infinite flexibility on the job-seeker’s part as the job spec bends and flexes, interviews are re-scheduled and cancelled and the process grinds to a halt or fades into oblivion without so much as a thank-you email
4. Over-selling (like sending a thank-you email message that includes a list labeled “Ten Reasons You Should Hire Kami Smith for This Job”)
5. The absence of any boundaries, reservations or considerations about the job itself or the hiring process on the job-seeker’s part, no matter how much abuse is heaped on him or her
