They should make a timer that starts ticking right after you've emailed a potential employer and anyone else that you need something from, counting down to the next time you can email them without sounding like a desperate prick. For the first two emails the timer would start ticking down from 1 week. But after that the clock jumps to 2 weeks, or 2.5 weeks, or 3 weeks (I haven't decided). Long enough that they forget the last time you contacted them, so it doesn't feel like you JUST sent them an email, but short enough that they remember who you are.
Applying for jobs is a bitch.
Asking for a favor from someone who doesn't see any personal benefit from helping you ('cause who does shit out of the good of their heart anymore), is a bitch.
