Q: What type of results can I expect?

Your results really depend on:

  1. your qualifications, salary expectations and location and
  2. the jobs available through the recruiters you've selected.

More specifically, you can expect any of the following responses from recruiters:

  • You will be contacted for an interview (this being the ultimate goal, although, of course, we can make no guarantee that you will get an interview)
  • You will receive an email from the recruiter that they currently have no positions open matching your qualifications (generally within a week or two of your resume being sent out)
  • You will receive no response from the recruiter, however, many of these will keep your resume on file for future reference
  • You will receive an automatic reply from the recruiter indicating that they have received your resume

When a recruitment company's name shows up more than once it means that there are multiple recruiters and/or multiple locations for that company, each with a separate email address, that wish to receive resumes.
