Q. I’m thinking of working with a headhunter to expand my job search. Is this worthwhile?
A. If you’ve never worked with a recruiter before, beware of anyone who asks for money up front. I’ve heard too many sad stories of people who paid thousands of dollars for empty promises. Unless you’re a high-level executive searching for one of the top jobs at a company, you’re not likely to work with a fee-based recruiter.
