A current resume is a valuable tool for helping recruiters match you with the right positions. Make sure your resume has your relevant and current work and education history, including details of any recent courses and volunteer work. Double-check the contact details for your references are also current before distributing your resume to recruiters.

Your preparation will help you answer questions confidently and accurately. Most recruiters ask new clients about their career goals, as they help recruiters understand what they want to achieve and how they can help you get there. If you are not sure what your goals are, consider what job you want to have and what that looks like.

Think about your preferred industry and location, the tasks you want to perform and the corporate culture that would suit you best. Explaining what your dream job looks like will help recruiters match you with suitable positions.

Just as an employer asks questions to determine whether you are the right candidate for a position, you should ask recruiters questions to see whether they are the best people to help you in your job search. Ask a new recruiter about their experience in your industry and how they help candidates find work. Assess their answers and willingness to listen to determine whether you will have a good working relationship.

Open communication gives recruiters the tools they need to effectively represent you. Be honest about everything that impacts your job search, including your resume, any firm job requirements and your relationships with other recruiters.

A resume gives a summary of your education and work history. Communicating openly with recruiters fills in any information gaps so they can best represent you. For example, noting that your work history has a one-year gap because you traveled will help recruiters explain the gap to hiring managers.
