While approaching a placement consultancy, make sure that you have adequate printouts of your resume and also carry it on a floppy as many prefer soft copies that be easily forwarded to the client through email. Be clear about your work preferences before you approach a consultant: make a list of the companies that you would like to work with and also rate them according to your order of reference. Decide upon the kind of package that you want taking into consideration important aspects like career growth and job satisfaction. Establish the designation at which you want to enter the new organization. Ensure that your expectations are reasonable during these testing times. Be specific about the companies to which you wouldn’t want your resume to be forwarded and mention why. In your initial dealings with a placement consultant, extend the same professional courtesy to him/her that you would give the hiring company. Think of it as a job interview. The consultant serves as a gateway to your potential employer. Before you impress your potential employer, you have to impress the consultant.
