Mutual Time Wasters

In the spirit of respect each other’s time, here are a few items for you to avoid and where you can politely say ‘I understand…”

Your items

·         Describing yourself in generic terms like “I’m a change agent”, etc.

·         Spending more than 30 seconds on the background of a situation

·         Your frustrations about a job search

·         Complaints about your old boss or company

Recruiters

·         Explaining either of these items:

o   Difference between a contingency and retained recruiter

o   What it means to be a retained recruiter

·         Giving exhaustive detail on their database

·         Line by line review of a job description (you can read it)
