You should always approach the job search just like it was your full time job.  This means getting up at a normal, early time…and get started on the job search day.

My advice today on topic is to show some urgency. I believe urgency shows interest, passion and an understanding that the opening is open but only for a short time.  Someone will fill that job—you need to work hard to prove to the company that it had better be you.

As a hirer, I love to see applicants who WANT the job.  In fact, we often leave it completely open to the applicant to call us back with their interest level.   It amazes me to learn that a few people do not even hear that simple direction, and wait around hoping we will call them.

In short, it is ok to want the job and to communicate that to the person doing the hiring.  Do not worry that they will think that you are some stalker type person…far better to show interest and excitement in the potential job.
