Three people wrote me this week saying they are so desperate to work that they will accept minimum wage. One told me he would only accept this for exactly the same type of work he earned six figures for as recently as two years back and another said he would work for that amount as long as some of his skill sets were utilized.
Marketing a seasoned professional into anything other than an unrelated, part-time job at minimum wage will not work. While all employers are very aware of the messy world we live in, they are also very wary (and rightfully so) of trying to get something for almost nothing. Looking that desperate could easily brand a candidate as a disaster area and could ruin them professionally for the rest of their
work-eligible life.
