When is desperation called for - Holding it for something marginally better?
When is desperation in the job hunt called for? Desperation has led me into my last 3 jobs. I have taken them because I had nothing else on offer, or because they were slightly better than the previous job. None have been ideal (by any stretch of the imaginaton), but more importantly, these were all jobs that fell onto my lap by sheer coincidence. Now I am on the job hunt again, where is the fine line between taking any job, and holding it for something marginally better?
Desperation is called for at all times.
It would help to have some specifics about this job and your current situation. In general, with this shitty job market, I would say desperation is necessary
Unfortunately, if you're not a bluc chip candidate, you gotta do what you gotta do. Having a job is a good bargaining chip, and having a few bucks helps, but take advantage of everything. Personally, I broke in offering to work for free and got a FT offer by undercutting everyone, but at some point you'll probably be best off just hitting the FUCK YOU / RESET button and going back to school.
And yeah, hiring managers are totally taking advantage of the labor glut. People suck and life is unfair. So, you have to be unfair: be aggressive, not desperate....you already have a job and just want a better one.
