"If you don't go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you don't ask, the answer is always no. If you don't step forward, you're always in the same place."--Nora Roberts

Working With Recruiters
A relationship with a recruiter can be one of your most valuable assets in your job search. To utilize this tool to its fullest potential, keep in mind the following guidelines in working with your recruiter for maximum results.
|
 |
|
- Look for a specialist in your industry. A relationship with an expert in your chosen field of endeavor can serve you well for the duration of your career.
|
|
|
- Practice full disclosure. Be up front about your current employment status, earnings history, and search efforts. This will help the recruiter present your background to an employer, match appropriate opportunities to your criteria, and avoid potential misunderstandings downstream.
|
|
|
- Be enthusiastic. A recruiter will present you to an employer based on how you come across in your discussions.
|
|
|
- Answer all the recruiter's questions first. It is the recruiter's job to assess your potential for filling the client's needs. Discussing positions for which you may not be a good fit or that may not fit your criteria is a waste of time.
|
|
|
- Return your recruiter's calls and follow up after every interview. The consultant is there to act as a conduit of information between you and the employer to facilitate an effective exchange of information.
|
|
|
- Ask your recruiter how he prefers to work. The call for the purpose of "checking in" is usually unnecessary and will only frustrate you when it isn't returned. Rely on the recruiter's suggestions in regard to the necessity of following up when you are not actively interviewing through the firm.
|
|
|
- Be honest. You should express your concerns as well as your enthusiasm to a recruiter. Keeping a recruiter in the dark in regard to your actual interest in a position in order to "keep your options open" has the potential of burning a bridge to an otherwise successful relationship.
|
|
|
- Give referrals. If you're helpful now, your recruiter will remember it. In choosing a recruiter, your objective should be to form an alliance that will serve you over the course of your career.
