It's still tough out there, with too many candidates chasing too few openings. You may have heard experts say that job seekers need to stand out from the crowd and never give up. But what's bold and inspired to one hiring manager can seem obnoxious--or insane--to another. Do attention-getting stunts work? And how have some job seekers gone too far?Stalking via social media
Social media has an etiquette that some users haven't mastered, according to Michelle Madhok, CEO and editor of SheFinds.com: "I use social media to find candidates, but one job seeker kept contacting me on various sites, wanting to know if I had made a decision," Madhok says. "My advice: Don't keep messaging on Twitter asking for a job. One inquiry is okay; otherwise, remember the rule Don't call us, we'll call you.'"
