This is great, you might think we want employers to call us. It means they're motivated to treat us with respect and enthusiasm. That s a faulty assumption. Employers are always trawling for good people. Just because you're in their net today doesn't mean you're about to have a sunny interview on a lovely beach or that the job is some sort of paradise.
Flattery is big bait, and most people swallow it without thinking.
The offer is bigger than your interest. In such a situation, you might find yourself considering an offer from a company where you ordinarily would not consider pursuing a job. Suddenly, the decision process is focused on the salary, the perks and the full-court press made by the employer. In the excitement, what falls by the wayside is a careful inspection of the work, the business, the people and the career consequences. Not that people are stupid.
