> This lights recruiters and hiring managers on fire.

Not always. Sometimes it has a repulsive effect. Like trying to score a first date when you're already flaunting the fact that you're engaged to someone else.

In what universe is this an acceptable analogy for anything?

Edit: Make sure to include the quote.


Are you offended by the analogy in some way?


I don't know much about dating. My advice is about interviewing. I think it's completely different.

Also your analogy is wrong - you are suggesting to go interview after you accept an offer, which I agree is off-putting.

I am suggesting to go interview after you receive an offer but before you accept it.


As a hiring manager, it comes down to how good this person seems on her resume. If she's just ok I don't rush.
