Miss the appointment without letting
them know. They likely will move on to
the next candidate and not callback.
•
Be upset or angry with the recruiter.
They are acting on behalf of their client
and their mandate. Sometimes they
have flexibility, but often they do not.
•
Try to bypass the recruiter and go
directly to the brand or company. The
recruiter won't work with you on that role
and likely, won't work with you again.
Ask them for feedback and take it - it will help you
get the job!
Make sure they are staying connected with you
throughout the interview process - they want you to
get the job!
Communicate with them any concerns that you
have. They can help to alleviate them.
