I sent my resume in PDF to the headhunter. He put it in Word, reformatted the sections, changed some languages, sent it back to me for my review. Then he set up a call with me to go through all possible questions I may be asked in the interview, and give me sample answers. Now I’m confused

Umm whose the headhunter?

I need someone to give me that kind of help 😐

Candidate success rates are important. Mine was 98%. He wouldn’t have gone through this effort if he didn’t think you would be successful in the role. Some people just need help to get in the door.

for every successful placement, they get a ‘fee’. They are invested on the potential fee (the higher the level, the bigger is the fee), more than your actual success in the role. I know most of the fees are given to them in chunks (x% at the start, x% after a few months)

Props to his PDF to Word conversion skills
