I was happy because they paid me my finders fee. He is now a Captain here. So your scenario doesn't always play out the way you say. If anything, it shows initiative. Especially that someone is that eager to come work for $20,000 a year

+1 this is how i got the job and the HR guy said he picked most of our interview pool from people who went out of their way to reach out to him. defintely shows you really want the job.
