4 Bad Assumptions Made By Recruiters When Advising Job Seekers

4 Bad Assumptions Made By Recruiters When Advising Job Seekers

Not every recruiter knows what they are talking about.

Not every resume writer knows what they are talking about.

Not every career coach knows what they are talking about.

However, many of us do help job seekers—the good ones of any of the professional groups above know we can’t and shouldn’t help everyone…

But the 4 bad assumptions I see recruiters make when they are going down the wrong, typically ego-driven path are outlined in this video.

What would you add to this list?

Tell me by replying to this email or commenting on the video link above.

And I repeat…this is not a recruiter-bashing video. I was a recruiter for 13 years … and I could easily do this same video (and may still do that) on the resume writers.

But today is about recruiters…and as you watch this, the key is to have empathy whether you are a job seeker, recruiter, career coach, or resume writer, as I outline how to do in my latest article for @sourcecon outlined here: https://www.sourcecon.com/articles/building-bridges-of-empathy-recruiters-and-job-seekers-on-equal-ground.
