If I’m a job applicant and the recruiter I’m working with stops returning my calls and emails, what does that usually mean?
[spp-transcript]
Do you really think employers are trying to help you?
You already know you can’t trust recruiters—they tell you as much as they think you need to know to take the job they after representing so they collect their payday.
The skills needed to find a job are different yet complement the skills needed to do a job.

To take the dating analogy, don’t date immature people. Google the people,
the business and Glassdoor them as well. Keep a spreadsheet of the
interactions that you have but always be closing (ABC) with new people. If
they want you, they’ll be calling etc etc etc. I’ve had recruiters that I
let down easy, I’ve had recruiters that just couldn’t take no for an
answer, and I’ve had clients that switched recruiting firms to get me to
come on board. You have to prequalify everyone you come in contact with –
be able to distinguish a cattle call from an actual open requirement that
needs filled. And – strategically- stop answering the recruiters that don’t
pan out.

Jeff – just a suggestion: lose the dark background, buy some styrofoam
backdrops at Home Depot to light up the right side of your face, and get
the camera up about 6 inches. Sound is great though
Thanks for caring
