OUR RELATIONSHIP: As you work with your FPC recruiter, you should develop a sense of trust and confidence. Your recruiter will not only tell you about job opportunities but also provide you with very valuable advice on how to interview and how to negotiate the best compensation and relocation, etc. Your recruiter should also act as an objective sounding board during this time of change. Keep in mind that your FPC recruiter deals with this every day. As busy as you are in your job, you probably do not consider these issues very often. Let your recruiter know of any job opportunities you hear about that you may be interested in.He or she can locate the hiring manager and try to get you an interview. BRIEFING FOR AN INTERVIEW BEFORE: A day or two before the interview, call your FPC recruiter to confirm the time of your appointment, and get the spelling and pronunciation of the hiring manager’s name. Get directions to the location, especially if it is in an area you don’t know. Review your notes regarding the company, job, and interview process. Plan to arrive a few minutes early for your interview. Punctuality makes a good impression, so allow extra time for traffic delays. If for some reason you are running late, call your FPC recruiter immediately to let him or her know that you will not be on time so they can alert the company to manage their timing expectation. When you arrive, it may be necessary to complete an application, whether or not the client has your resume. On any questions regarding salary requirements, it is advisable to answer “open” or “to be discussed.” AFTER: Immediately following the interview, you must call your FPC recruiter. It is important that your recruiter has your reaction in order to effectively represent your wishes when speaking with the hiring manager. This is your opportunity to discuss both positive items and concerns. At this time, the recruiter will recommend a phone call or short note to the company restating your attributes and expressing your interest. If you anticipate an offer, your FPC recruiter will help you carefully weigh the advantages and disadvantages. In fact, your recruiter will help throughout the process to secure a position and compensation package that’s right for you. We are pleased to partner with you in your career search. Contact us at any time with questions along the way.
