Being in the first year of my fellowship, I can afford to be picky about job opportunities at the moment, and only apply to especially appealing positions or those I'm asked to apply for.

So does it count as being asked to apply if

  • I'm asked via email,
  • it's bcc'ed to me,
  • it's addressed to "Dear Colleague"
  • they sound pretty desperate?


I'm not sure that this is would necessarily be a good fit, in any case. I'm just wondering if I should treat it as flattery or spam.

Check to see how long the position has been open, and how long the last person there had it.

"Dear Colleague", though, with a BCC sounds a lot like spam.

According to the rumor mill, the first person who it was offered to turned it down. The second person it was offered to has had multiple offers at other places, including at least one department that I would consider superior.
