An unfortunate reality is that playing “hard to get” may not be such a bad idea in the realm of relationships. And while there are all kinds of marked similarities between hunting for a significant other and hunting for a job, I don’t think playing ‘hard to get’ translates as well from one to the other.

So with these things in mind, showing up for my interview at the wrong place and effectively standing up my potential employer was not one of my brighter ideas.
