I met someone recently who I originally thought was pleasant, smart and ambitious -- I still somewhat think that of her.
The problem is now I realize she is pushing me to give her all of my recent contacts, interview information, company details, etc.
Given my current, unexpected difficulties in my own job search, I don't feel I could afford to help her that much at the moment.
She's very thankful for my time and all of my insights and the contacts I've already given her, but the problem is that now she is asking for even more -- even my current interviews that are in-progress, and I feel somewhat overwhelmed and even a little alarmed, to be honest. I only just met this person, and my gut feeling is that she will drop me as soon as she has gotten what she wants from me.
How can I tactfully navigate this situation professionally, to help her while also providing a little pushback and saying that I can't just give her all of my current in-progress interview details?
Thanks, please feel free to edit the title or anything else.

I'm not really sure this has anything to do with the workplace. This person wants to know about workplace topic, but this may be a better fit on the interpersonal communication SE
