Calling every day begging for the job does = desperation. Talking about how long you’ve been out of work, you have a family to feed, are behind on your bills, you don’t what you’ll do if you don’t get the job…all = desperation.

Hope this clarifies — please let me know if you have additional questions.

How can I do that without the interviewer interpreting that I'm "desperate"? #8: What’s the difference between coming off eager and interested, and coming off desperate?
