what to expect when working with a recruiter

A great recruiter is like a trusted companion who can guide you through your career journey. They can not only help you find your next job, but also offer valuable insights to develop your entire career. Whether you are seeking work in your hometown or in an exotic location like Dubai or on a cruise ship, a good recruiter can help you connect with the right decision makers and land your dream job.

Today's recruiters are highly networked with employers and have access to the latest job opportunities that match your skills and interests. By finding an honest, hardworking, ethical, and successful recruiter, you can enjoy a long-lasting partnership that will benefit you throughout your career.

If you find a recruiter who fits this description, don't let them go, even if they don't find you a job every time you're looking. Instead, give them your loyalty, referrals, and access to your network, and they will reward you with great results.

Here are the 10 commandments of working with recruiters:

1. Keep track of your job submissions and the companies you're applying to, so you and your recruiter can avoid any confusion or embarrassment.

2. Do not allow recruiters to submit your resume to companies without knowing to whom they plan to submit it.

3. Share your interview experiences with your recruiter, including the companies that didn't work out for you. They may have other candidates who are a better fit.

4. Feel free to work with more than one recruiter, but keep your list limited to 3-5 of the best ones you know and treat your favorites well.

5. Stay in touch with your recruiter and keep them updated on your job search progress. Help them while they help you.

6. Remember, recruiters usually work for free until they place you. Treat them with respect, and they will want to help you succeed. If you treat them poorly, you may end up on their "do not use" list.

7. Keep your resume updated and ready to go. You never know when an opportunity will present itself, and you want to be prepared.

8. Keep your references updated and inform them that you're actively searching for work. A poor reference can harm your chances of getting hired.

9. Keep your skills current and updated to stay relevant in your field.

10. Give your recruiter access to your network, including LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They may discover job opportunities before you even know you need them, so help them build their business while they help you build your career.
