Unless you come from a long line of nurses, your friends know everything about your industry, your co-workers discuss the intimate details of your plans to relocate, and you have a boss who doesn’t mind the fact that you’re looking at positions elsewhere, who can you confide in and lean on during your job search?

Your recruiter (aka, wingman)!

What most of our candidates find is that their families, though willing to give their time, have little understanding of their professional world. Their friends will eventually burn out on the conversation, and their academic peers are also up to their ears in the job hunt. On top of this, the boss and coworkers can’t know that they’re looking for a new job.

Here are a few ways your recruiter will be your biggest fan, and wingman, during your job search.

They offer technical support during your job search

At ENSEARCH, we view this as part of our role. We’re here to listen to your doubts and fears, help you define your objectives, then aim for the target.

What else do we do? We sometimes stop you from making terrible choices (take off that hat before trying to talk to that guy…i.e. don’t even think about leaving THAT on your resume!). And sometimes we encourage you to submit a resume for a position you may have thought was ‘out of your league’.

They offer emotional support during your job search

It’s been said that the toughest job you’ll ever have is finding your next job. A job search can be emotional, draining, and full of ups and downs. Having a recruiter who is truly in your corner and can be there to pick up the pieces after some difficult news, or build you up right before your interview is crucial.

Getting interview coaching and an entire job search game plan never hurts either.

They are truly your biggest fan

Can you think of one person in life who is your biggest fan? In the area of your career, we will be that person, the sounding board, the qualified ear that can listen to your fears and concerns, and be the GPS to your final destination.

What would you do without us?

You just might find yourself waking up in Timbuktu with nothing on but a cowboy hat and pair of Eskimo boots…wishing you had a job search wingman.
