5 Deadly Sins (Part 3)

The Third most deadly sin that job seekers make:
Not chasing each and every job lead until an offer is made.

I'm always surprised when someone I'm coaching withdraws from interviewing on a job they were chasing.

Often I am told that the job that they were interviewing was beneath them. It could be due to low advertised pay, or that the job title was beneath where they feel they belong.

This is wrong thinking. You should chase each and every job lead as if it is the only thing you have going. If an offer comes in, evaluate the offer for what it's worth.

Until an offer is made - you have nothing. Chase each and every lead until you have an offer. Wouldn't it be better if you had two or three opportunities to choose from three weeks from now?
