Work Your Options To Get The Interview

Q 

Greg – While working with my recruiter, I completed an application and was submitted for a job.  I have been waiting on an interview for 4 days now.  My recruiter says they haven’t started interviewing yet.  Should I keep waiting?

A

Absolutely not! As a traveler, if you want to remain employed regularly and for the long term, you (and your recruiter) need to be working on at least 3 travel options. Of your three options you will most certainly get at least one interview and the possibly one or more offers.  Also – have a frank conversation with your recruiter about any limitations you may have put on your job preferences. The traveler who is the most flexible with shift preferences, location options, on-call preferences, and travel limitations will get the most opportunities for interviews. Additionally, if you have any paperwork, licensing or credentialing yet to be completed, get it done!  Your recruiter will be able to close the deal on your behalf quickly and confidently if your proverbial “bags are packed”. There is power in having choices!
