Desperate nutworkers spoil it for the rest of us.

"You know that friend who only wants to hang out when her boyfriend is out of town?

Or that next-door neighbor who only speaks to you when he’s out of ice?

Or the relative who drops by only when her daughter is selling Girl Scout cookies?

You likely find yourself exasperated, rather than excited, when these characters resurface in your life. So why are some of us taking a similar approach to finding a job?...

...The depressing state of the job market is giving rise to networking’s crazy cousin, as I’ve dubbed it, nutworking."
