Don’t annoy the recruiter

Recruiters are a powerful ally to have in the employment game. But if you annoy them, they will not let you pass go.

Keep them on side by avoiding these mistakes

1. No ContactFailing to list your contact details or listing them incorrectly. Your contact details must be easy to spot quickly. And they ill be pointless if they are wrong – so check them!

2. You’re forcefulIt’s a good idea to follow up any interview with a note, email, or call to say thank you. But don’t get too clingy. It’s not okay to call a recruiter every day to ask them for an update on your application's progress. If you annoy them it might be detrimental to your place on the candidate shortlist.

3. You’ve got an attitude problemYou need to treat a recruiter the same way you would a potential new boss because if you’ve got the wrong attitude you won’t get a second chance. You want the recruiter on your team so you can advance to the next stage
