Is This Desperation Or Not?

6 February 2003

Yesterday CNN Headline News looped a story (over and over and over) about a guy in Seattle who is offering two free plane tickets to the person who provides the ”tip” that lands him a marketing job. First impressions are often right, but they’re sometimes wrong.

Is offering a reward to the person who really engages in helping one fine gainful employment a sign of desperation or is it shrewd business? I ask because I’m looking. Looking on the web and talking to humans face-to-face are two entirely different things.

So, what’s it going to take? I need to know the names of the hiring managers for two positions that are open at Microsoft. How do I get those? What’s your price for getting me the tip I need?
