My bet is more often than not. Why? Because something you weren’t planning to buy looked so good or an item wasn’t available, so you chose an alternative.
Most people have a similar mentality when job-hunting. I often see candidates with a set list of wants and they aren’t willing to be flexible. These candidates are the ones that struggle to find work in many cases.
I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to have a list. A list is a great tool to help guide your recruiter when looking for the best suited opportunity. But that’s just it, your list should be a guide only.
Thinking seriously about these points will help you and your recruiter build a better relationship as you progress along your job-hunting journey. Next time meet with your recruiter, keep these in mind and have an open conversation. You may suddenly find that you will have a lot more opportunities presented to you.
‘Shopping lists’ are not bad. In fact, they are very useful for us recruiters. You just need to be flexible. If you learn to swap some ingredients, you may make the end result a little sweeter!
