Is there a term to describe inquisitiveness with a negative connotation? [duplicate]
This is basically the opposite of Is there a word to describe curiosity in a positive way?
I'm not looking for an antonym. I'm looking for a synonym for inquisitive or curious that is more negative, like the second definition here: http://www.dictionary.com/browse/inquisitive
I realize that this is a secondary definition of inquisitive itself, but in common usage the term is used in either a positive or neutral tone. The second definition is not usually inferred in written language.
The phrase might be "Asking too many questions might make you seem _____ to a potential employer". Currently I'm using "overly inquisitive" but it feels redundant based on the true second definition of inquisitive.
EDIT: The suggested duplicate is slang which is not what I'm looking for. See a different answer to the same question which also notes the issue with "inquisitive" and the need for the redundant "overly" modifier.
Solution 1:
Sounds like pester
trouble or annoy (someone) with frequent or persistent requests or interruptions.
