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
