This episode features my long-time friend Lisa Rangel of Chameleon Resumes. She offers advice on what Executive Recruiters don't do. 

Lisa brings a unique perspective to our discussion, drawing from her extensive experience as an Executive Search Recruiter. Her current collaborations with recruiters, her role as a LinkedIn Moderator expert, and her ownership of an Executive resume-writing firm staffed by former HR and Recruiting professionals further enhance her qualifications. 

Here are a few of her takeaways:

• The first thing that a legitimate, reputable executive recruiter will never ask of executive candidates is to be paid.  Legit, reputable executive recruiters are paid by their client companies, who contract them to go out and find talent. 
• You have to execute the job search yourself.  That means you have to network. It means you need to post your resume, to specific job openings. It means you must send your resume to executive recruiters and network with them accordingly, with most hires happening through networking.
• You will find yourself susceptible to buying into a scam if you think you'll have to find a way to avoid doing the job search. 

I created "The Job Scam Report" for those who want to learn more about avoiding scams and for victims to get support for their next steps. The site includes articles and resources, free and paid options, a community of people who are taking proactive steps to avoid and get rid of scammers, and an exclusive podcast.
