Just today, 3 or 4 candidates called me with lines like "what have you got for me today" or "tell that company that $25 per hour is not enough for me to go on the interview" or "I will be glad to travel if they work around my personal schedule." These approaches had the potential to succeed when unemployment was extremely low and highly qualified candidates were in short supply.
Guess what, 2008 is a buyer's market like we have not seen in a very long time. Employers are insisting on extremely flexible parameters when hiring new staff. This too shall pass and will lead to numerous resignations and excessive numbers of job hoppers, but not for at least 12-15 months at best.
