Summary
In this chapter, you learned the basic rules of dealing with recruiters. You also learned how and when to follow up and you read up on some of our experiences looking for jobs and negotiating with recruiters, hiring managers, and agencies.
Having a professional profile that shares your experience and carefully highlights all your skills is supremely important. Your online profile is your calling card, so having the correct set of skills and experience can get you the type of contacts you want both from a networking perspective and for specific opportunities.
You can be proactive with your search, and you can make it so that you can receive daily job hits based on your online profile. Make it a habit to quickly classify each job and put it in the right bucket. Contract gigs and salaried roles can vary wildly in responsibility and compensation, and you must make sure you know the answers you need before you start the interview process!
