In reply to so let me give you a hypothetical................., posted by sleepygirl on January 27, 2006, at 14:06:01
I knew someone like the person (friend?) you're describing. She and I were not even in the same field, and there was no chance she'd interview for a job I was interested in, but I saw her do that to so many other people (she actually engaged in it habitually) that I gradually broke off contact with her. I just didn't like what she was doing to other people, and although I knew she wouldn't be able to bump me out of a job because we weren't in the same field, I was concerned that she might do something similar in another walk of life. At times, I thought she was remarkably unimaginative and unresourceful because she didn't seem to have the ability to think of her OWN places to apply. She only knew how to steal, or attempt to steal, jobs away from others.
I've met people who, after some bad experiences, will not tell anyone they're job-hunting until after they are secure and settled in their new position. And if they do tell others that they're job-seekers, they won't ever tell where they're applying.
