Candidates worry about sharing all aspects of their job search

[Joyzfsddt66]

I interviewed for a job I was excited about, but I was slightly hesitant about the company culture. I was ready to nix the opportunity, but Suzie pointed out my interview had fallen on Columbus Day and the office was unusually quiet. She then went out of her way to schedule another meeting for me to visit during a more typical day so I could get a better picture of the company, employees and environment as a whole. I made the decision not to go back, and ultimately turned down the offer based on my one Columbus Day experience. I later learned a former colleague of mine ended up taking the job. She raves about the culture and is happy there to this day. I missed out because I didn’t lean on my recruiter’s advice and her ability to arrange a follow-up meeting. Good recruiters offer advantages, including the ability to advocate for your needs and arrange for special treatment. Cash in on those things, so you don’t pass on a stellar role or opportunity.

Be honest about your search activity

With their recruiter, including other jobs they are pursuing on their own or with bolivia whatsapp phone number other recruitment firms. I understand that mindset because I had not shared everything with my recruiters either. For example, while I was interviewing with a company through Suzie, I didn’t tell her about an offer I had through my own network. Although I ended up taking the other offer, I kept thinking about the role with Suzie and what could have been. Did I make the right decision? What if Suzie’s role was a better fit for me? Had I told her more about my search, she could have tried to speed-up the interview process, allowing me to compare both options at the same time and ultimately to make a more informed decision.
