Recruiters can be great connections for you through the job searching process, after all, they are often in touch with a lot of employers and usually know about roles before they are advertised. But like any working relationship, it is give-and- take.

Here are 3 quick tips for working with recruiters:

1. Know your career goals - when you know what you want and know the value you bring to an organisation you make it easy for a recruiter to be targeted in their job search for you.

2. Be open to feedback - remember they deal with hundreds of candidates and resumes so if they give you advice and offer suggestions it's best to listen!

3. Be contactable - make it easy for a recruiter to get in touch with you and in the instance that you do miss their call, make sure you get back to them quickly - opportunities don't wait."
