May I add that that goes for other fields as well? LOL!<br /><br />The only thing I wish *you* were more upfront about is that recruiters work for the companies that pay them, not for the job seekers.<br /><br />I run into this misconception a lot with my clients who believe they can pretty much "hire" a recruiter to find them a job. Now I know why they would think so. <br /><br />You wrote "Our job is to get you a job.." but isn't your job really to fill your clients' openings? That’s where your loyalty is – like it should be. <br /><br />Are you really going to try to find a job for a candidate whose background doesn’t match any of your search requirements? Of course not. Those are the people that will probably never hear back from you.<br /><br />I believe that an educated “consumer” is a smart consumer. If more people realized how things work when it comes to job searches, then everyone could spend their time more productively.<br /><br />It’s up to people like yourself to be clear about how working with a recruiter really works.<br /><br />Ilona Vanderwoude<br />Master Resume Writer<br />Career BranchesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13521702742990755697noreply@blogger.com
