How long should I wait before following up with a recruiter? I provided materials and they said they’d send them out immediately and start contacting firms, but didn’t provide a timeline.

It would depend on how quickly your recruiter's contacts take to respond. I like when my candidates take enough interest in our "partnership" to check in every few days to once per week. You're essentially trusting them with your career, so do what's reasonable and beneficial to your partnership with them. Although, I'm a bit concerned you were told your materials would be sent around town. I generally keep identifying information out of the market until the candidate and I have discussed it and I've been given express permission to share a resume or other materials. Maybe give your recruiter a call to check on strategy, confidentially, and follow up expectations.

Im an out of market applicant, and we previously conversed about potential firms, those with opening And those without. Recruiter provided a list which i researched and vetted accordingly, and subsequently authorized to reach out to those firms. Didn’t explain all of that in OP.

I appreciate the information about follow up time!

I spoke with a recruiter recently about a position in her company and before we even began talking about the job, she asked if I needed an sponsorship, I told her no, I dont need one. But she continued to press on the subject until I had to tell her I was a US citizen. I dont know why, but the whole conversation made me extremely uncomfortable. So my question is, can recruiters ask you about your visa/immigration status even when I told her I didnt need a sponsorship??

If you go for interview and you sort of know that the person interviewing you might be curious about something on your negative on your resume like why is there a gap or why were you in XX role for so long?

Do you address it pre-emptively? Or does that show insecurity and you leave the elephant in the room and wait till they ask you?

I guess this is more in the case of networking than interview like do you make your own story?
