4 Signs Your Recruiter Isn't Really Looking Out for You
Though networking can be an extremely useful tool in landing a new job, there are many scenarios where it might also pay to enlist the help of a recruiter. Of course, there are pros and cons to going this route. On the one hand, recruiters can unearth opportunities you otherwise wouldn't have found on your own, and the good ones can provide the insight you need to really rock your interviews. On the flipside, there are many recruiters out there who are only in it for themselves, and those are the ones you'll want to avoid at all costs. Here are a few warning signs to look out for when recruiters start giving off a questionable vibe.
As a job candidate, it's natural to shy away from job interviews for roles you're iffy about -- especially since interviewing can be a time-consuming, and sometimes stressful, experience. But while it's OK for your recruiter to occasionally encourage you to attend an interview you would've otherwise passed on, it's not OK for him or her to constantly pressure you into meeting with companies you're not interested in working for.
