求职很像约会。当你找工作或者在约会的时候，不应该是“请喜欢我吧，我求求你了！”这个样子的。作为求职者或赴约的人，你不能表现出极其渴望的样子。
Job-hunting is a lot like dating. When you're job-hunting or when you're dating, you don't want to come from the place "Please, like me -- I beg you!" You can't be needy as a job-seeker or a person on the dating scene.
极其渴望得到这份工作的求职者可能会引起招聘者的同情，但不会激发出信心。
A desperate job-seeker might elicit sympathy from an interviewer but they will not inspire confidence.
以下是在求职者身上出现的极其渴望得到这份工作的五个表现。这没什么好处！
Here are five job search moves that signal desperation on a job-seeker's part -- and that's not good!
1.在同一个组织中申请大量不同的职位。而选择最感兴趣的工作和/或最有资格担任的职位是一个更好的做法。
1.Applying for lots of different jobs in the same organization. It's a better idea to pick the job you are most interested in and/or most qualified for and pursue that opportunity first.
2.在面试的时候花大量时间谈论你多想得到这份工作。
2.Spending your interview time talking about how badly you want or need the job.
3.将过去的绩效评估纳入工作面试。不要这样做，而是围绕你在过去工作中的出色表现讲故事，并让你的前老板为你在领英上写推荐。
3.Bringing past performance reviews to a job interview. Don't do this -- instead, tell stories about the great things you did at your past jobs, and get your ex-bosses to write LinkedIn recommendations for you.
4.告诉招聘人员或部门经理，很乐意从底层开始，拿取最低的薪酬，适应他们可能要求的任何工作时间，甚至他们还没问你就通通点头了。
4.Telling a recruiter or department manager that you're happy to start at the bottom, take the lowest possible pay rate and work any schedule they might ask you to -- even before they've asked the question.
5.面试官介绍这份工作的时候，你打断了他们，说：“这个我做过，那个我做过，我都做过很多年了。”停下来，喘口气，等待机会来了，再讲一个关于你的经历如何与工作描述重叠的有凝聚力的故事。
5.As the interviewer describes the job opportunity, interrupting them to say "I've done that! I've done that too! I've done that for years." Take a breath, take your time and wait for the opportunity to tell one cohesive story about how your experience overlaps with the job description, instead.
每次面试都会使你更强大。请记住，服务于一个希望或期望你乞求工作的单位是不会让你发光发热的。
Every interview will make you stronger. Keep in mind that you won't grow your flame working for an organization that wants or expects you to beg for a job.
那些人不值得你追求，专心找到那些值得你拥有的人吧！
Those people don't deserve you -- keep your focus on finding the people who do!
