Be Proactive: While waiting for recruiters to find you opportunities, keep your job search active. Apply for jobs directly, network, and utilize online job platforms.
Be Respectful: Treat your interactions with recruiters professionally. Be punctual for meetings, respond promptly to emails, and respect their time. Remember, they are a crucial link between you and potential employers.
Suffice it to say, recruiters can be invaluable allies in your job search if you understand the scope and limitations of their role. They can open doors to opportunities you might not find on your own, but landing the job will always ultimately depend on you.
