Hey 🐠 What relationship are you supposed to have with recruiters during an interview process? I see posts saying "your recruiter should have prepped you" that makes me feel like I'm doing it wrong.

Thanks in advance!

Be professional and smart about it, but not too friendly and disingenuous. I have worked with recruiters that had my back, recruiters that are stand-offish, recruiters who simply don’t care. If you find recruiters with whom you click and believe you’re the right candidate for the job they’re looking to fill, that is the time you should try to ‘grab’ as much insight you can in a professional and mature way. Of course, that doesn’t mean you’ll get the job - but you’ll get a friendly face who’ll remember you and vouch for you wherever they move next as has happened to me! Believe me - that’s super handy to have.
