When I was a hiring I never wanted anyone to show subservience or beg. But I didn't want to lose my own job for making a poor decision, and if I interview 30 people in a week, I am more likely to remember and think more about people who make extra effort, which can look like a lot of things.

If I have a tough decision to make, unfortunately it does come down to a contest of who wants it most. At least I know if someone really wants the job they're less likely to slack off and jeopardize my position.
