What Job Recruiters Can and Can't Do for You

As a recruiter, I'm on the receiving end of dozens of phone calls and E-mails a week from job seekers asking how to "enlist" our services. Job seekers often think recruiters are their solution to the job search and that once they're in touch with a recruiter, the job opportunities will come pouring in. While we can be incredibly helpful, it's important to understand how most recruiters work in order to avoid job-search frustration and disappointment.
