Money in the bank

A recent Money Magazine article entitle “Get a leg up on your job search” is interesting, as it highlights the importance of having a headhunter (recruiter) on your side (as many of today’s jobs are not advertised).

Many years ago, back in California, I had a personalized HEDHUNT license plate!

The article goes on to say...

1. Find a gatekeeper/recruiter who specializes in your industry.

2. A plus, if someone you know can recommend you to one who they have worked with in the past.

3. Reach out to them, and if you get a positive response connect on Linkedin

4. Stay in touch, but no more than once a month.

5. Be open minded when they call you, and if you’re not interested try to help them with a referral (people like to help those who have helped them).

I couldn’t have said these things better myself. J
