  • Being approached by a headhunter is a good thing during your job search
  • Chris shares the headhunter is employed by the client while a recruiter works eternally
  • Headhunters are only as good as their client
  • Not many candidates took advantage of working with a headhunter
  • Headhunters can plug you into a network
  • Headhunter understands the culture, the salary, may know the interview questions, and how to stand out
  • Headhunters have multiple clients looking for various roles, but will take the time to offer some guidance
  • People should change their thinking about headhunters as they could advocate for you
  • More often job seekers will have a LinkedIn profile instead of a blog and LI profile
  • Since most don’t have a blog, it is the one thing to stand out

There are strengths you have that need constant use and development. Be sure you sign up to download my E-Book, "421 Modern Job Search Tips 2021!"
