Fragment 5 - Being remembered by recruiters

I managed to create a "trusted relationship" with 4-6 recruiters, and my experience was that they would tend to have me in mind if they had relevant job offerings. This is how I created this relationship:

First step was to identify the recruiters that worked with the jobs I was applying for. Then I tried to find information about them primaily via Linkedin, but also by googeling them. This way I had a good platform for contacting them.

If I had got no response on the job applications in about one week I would call some of them to ask for an update on the job. Not only would this make them remember me better. It also gave me an opportunity to get an update on the job situation in the region in question from the very best specialists in this area.

The next thing was to keep in touch with the most relevant recruiters by updating them on my situation, and CV, and by following up on the dialogue regarding jobs.
