Call during normal business hours. Ask if it’s a good time to talk.
Once you’ve got my attention – LISTEN. Stop talking and start listening and write down the advice I’m giving. I can’t tell you how many people don’t
take notes and then expect me to repeat myself again when they call back days
later. There is nothing wrong with taking notes – take them!
Be humble, gracious and polite.
If you don’t like the advice, don’t argue with me about it.
You asked - I gave you my opinion. Take
it and use it or don’t use it. Or just use what works for you – it’s your job
search.
Don’t assume I’m a miracle worker – it’s you who must do the
hard work finding a job. Most people don’t
get placed by a recruiter -they have to find their own job.
