Hi all,

I've read the threads complaining about recruiters and don't what to start a new one. My question is how to work with them to get the best results. I've met with a couple here in HK so far and I've got a distinct impression that they either didn't read my resume or didn't understand most of it. My background is pretty hands on development and my previous employer is a small company in Canada. Without the name recognition of a big MNC on the resume, how should I sell myself in front of a "non tech" person ? I guess I would have the same problem with HR. Any comments is greatly appreciated.

With the recruiters you need to be honest and tell them exactly what type of role you're looking for and where you want to be heading, They're not mind readers and don't want to be wasting their and your time.

Without the big MNC experience you will need to prove that you are adaptable and are able to hit the ground running and able to adapt to the structure and politics a large MNC provides, This you will definately need to work on to persuade HR types to give you a chance as there is a big big difference from being a big fish in a small pond etc.

If they didn't understand your c.v then simplify it as not all recruiters and HR people are Techies
