Recruiters have a unique position in the world of investments. In a word, they must build relationships with employers and candidates, then play matchmaker for this a win-win for all to be. Part of being a recruiter is that you teach (the applicant) to know and understand what you and the best place you have to offer is right for you. However, be careful not to make the mistake to make is that this "Know" talks, which is you and the recruiter BFFs - because if the relationship taking a turn for the worse. This is what you need to know.

There is a fine line to be between them and be a little too open and honest with one advertisers. Remember that the recruiter is on your side, but you should always maintain a level of professionalism in their interactions. To avoid unknowingly that cross the thin line, here are three things you should never say in your communication with a recruiter.

1. Slang - words

As tempting as it is also a "LOL" or "OMG" to reach the recruiter may be, do not do it in your messenger conversations, at least initially. The use of words or phrases dealing, you run the risk of being unprofessional and stupid - which, I checked the last time, are not qualities employers look for in candidates.

2. Profanity

Ladies and gentlemen, should be clear. However, I understand that there is always the few questionable candidates have the rest of us and occasionally fall F-bomb to ruin here and there, because it is not a big problem. Suffice it to say that it is never appropriate to use bad words when talking to a recruiter. End of the story.

3. Appropriate Greetings / Greetings

If they be opened through e-mail communication, always professional greetings and salutations and close correspondence. In other words, do not use "Hey, [name of the recruiter]!" as a greeting or "Love" as a stop sign. Instead it with "Dear Mr / Mrs" conventional "Sincerely" to your emails.

The relationship between the user and an advertiser is a two way street and must remain professional at all times. Think of your conversation with a recruiter as a precursor of the interview with a prospective employer. If you have any questions about what should or should not say, just replace the recruiter with the employer in your mind and you should have your answer.
