Summary

 


These days you can stalk plenty of people online through Twitter, Facebook and Google.


But, if you want to get your foot in the door, don't over stalk Recruiters.


Here 8 things you should avoid doing to a Recruiter.


1) No more than 20 Tweets in an hour.


2) Never follow the Recruiter to the bathroom and talk him while they are taking a whiz.


3) Don't call a Recruiter's Boss's Boss and ask him to call you back.


4) Calling for updates is ok. Email is better, but texting a cell phone for updates is a scary annoying


5) Never tell your Recruiter you like boiled rabbits.


6) It's not wise to call us from OUR parking lot as we leave for home.


7) Don't call Recruiters at home. Don't!


8) Never ever ask a Recruiter to write a Linkedin recommendation letter when she hardly knows you.



If you have to break the rules to get a job, then be prepared to accept the rejection and a closed door. Move on gracefully and maybe Recruiter will call you back for another opportunity

With the exception of 20 tweets in an hour (because it's replaced by 20 chats on FB in an hour!) and the boiled rabbit - I've had every one of these happen.
Most uncomfortable was the bathroom scene where I asked the potential grad that was holding his resume to please wait outside the restroom or at least until I was washing my hands.
Funny thing... never saw him again.
