Not thinking about the Job Search right now, really.

[astra_nomer]

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.
