6 ldquoI wonrsquot tell you why you havebeen rejectedrdquo We will presentcandidates once maybe twice ndash but nota third time if they have been rejectedSadly you may never learn from yourmistakes since we will not tell you thetruth about why you didnrsquot get a secondinterview Our client might say youseemed narrowshyminded or out of datebut we wonrsquot pass that along to you

To improve your chances in the futureask headhunters who you have workedwith in the past colleagues or bosses forfeedback Then take their comments toheart

7 ldquoYou are the missing candidatefor my lsquoshortshylistrsquo but you donrsquothave a prayer of getting this jobrdquoOur second invoice is due uponpresentation of a ldquoshortshylistrdquo of threecandidates If we only have two goodones we have to find a third The termswe use are ldquochallengerrdquo or ldquooutsiderrdquo Ifyou hear those words donrsquot get yourhopes up

Finally beware of unrealistic careermoves or a job that sounds too good tobe true Due diligence is yourresponsibilityndashnot the headhunterrsquos Noone cares about your career as much asyou do
