Are you apprehensive about talking with a recruiter?

If you have ever had to look for a job, you probably have spoken with a recruiter. Most people, as a result, are apprehensive about speaking with recruiters. Is the apprehension appropriate? I would like to help job seekers become more attuned as to how to make this interaction more beneficial and aid you in discovering how to increase your market ability.

  • Know what type of role you are looking for
  • Be proud of your accomplishments
  • Understand what the goal of the conversation should be

Have you ever heard the term, it's an employer's market? Well, it is currently is an employer's market. There are skilled resources available to fit any job within a specific environment. Employers are selective about the candidates interviewed and offered employment.

So a candidate needs to be able to articulate their professional experience, accomplishments and learned knowledge of their discipline. Prepare yourself before you walk into the interview and you can assure yourself a job offer.

Future discussions will be geared toward sharing input about how to drive your search and position yourself for consideration as a viable candidate.
