4. Create a mutually agreed upon communication plan

Agree upon dates and times to connect with your recruiter. Prior to any interview, it is very important to speak with your recruiter to gain insight about both the position and the employer. It is also critical to touch base with your recruiter after an interview. All good recruiters follow up with the employer after your interview to see if your skills were a fit, how the interview went, and if the employer would like to move to the next step of the hiring process. Ask your recruiter to share this feedback with you - this is valuable information that you need to hear in order to improve your interview skills.
