[quote=Anonymous]sending repeated emails like that over the weekend is a huge red flag.  Being eager is a good thing, but bombarding anyone with repeated emails over the weekend shows poor judgment.  I would not want this person to interact with clients/vendors in this manner.  Perhaps this is just eager beaver behavior from someone who is young and doesn't know better.

If they're otherwise good, give them a shot but also explain to them how you expect them to communicate internally and externally. A lot of professional behavior can only be learned on the job.  Perhaps she does not have the experience yet to know any better?

My old company had a job posting which I passed on to the career services folks at my old school.  I explicitly asked people to email their resumes to me if they were interested.

One eager beaver disregarded that and emailed our managing director with her resume.  It was off putting and got me into a bit of hot water.  Needless to say, in spite of the fact that she was probably qualified to at least interview, she did not get an interview because of her tactics. [/quote]
