Be Nice To People Even When You Dont Need Them.

Posted: 12 Sep 2011 11:26 AM PDT

I got an interesting call last week. A person who has never been a friend or even a particularly nice colleague contacted me to schedule a lunch date. Why? It turns out he needs a job.

Needing a job can be a scary, scary situation, and I feel for this guy, but when I got his call and a couple of
pushy follow-up e-mails regarding when I would be available to provide career advice and a list of who is employing, I wanted to respond in capital letters, "YOU HAVE BEEN CRANKY AND MEAN TO ME FOR YEARS, WHAT MAKES YOU THINK I AM GOING TO COME TO YOUR RESCUE NOW?"

I probably sound harsh, but I am stunned that a person could assume it is appropriate to expect special consideration when he has never ever offered even the slightest bit of kindness during the many years we have known each other. Will I do my best to send opportunities his way? Of course. Will I knock myself for him? Probably not.

Those of us who rely on their fancy titles are likely to find themselves quite alone when winds change and their jobs disappear. The people who tend to weather adversity most effectively are those who are well liked, have broad and deep networks, possess special expertise, and have "personal connection" from which to draw.

The fellow who called me seemed to think that because we attended meetings together, it's reasonable to ask me to drop everything to help him through his temporary crisis. Guess what? I don't agree.

Is my perspective unreasonable? How come some people only come to you when they need help?
