You are in your last semester of college and have been looking for a job. You have registered with the placement office and posted your résumé online, but the jobs that are available leave a bit to be desired. In one of your classes you overhear a classmate, Alex, talking about an interview he had last week. Alex said that he really wanted the job but didn’t think his interview went particularly well. He is currently waiting to hear back from the employer. As Alex was describing the position, you thought it sounded very interesting, but you wondered if it would be right for you to pursue the position since Alex had found it first. Question: Do you have any obligation to tell Alex if you apply for the job?
