szerintem itt erről van szó, magát ajánlgatva sok helyen a munkáért, mint egykoron az árujukat ajánlgatták, akik kilincseltek

neutral  Ildiko Santana: Sztem a "peddle" akkor találó, ha kifejezetten arra utalunk, h. vki *eladni* próbál /*árul* valamit. Peddle: to sell something on the street or by going to customers, rather than in a shop (He’s peddling T-shirts on the beach). Álláskeresésnél csúsztatás.
