About this listen

Ever said something to a recruiter that seemed totally fine… but then everything went quiet? In this episode, I’m breaking down 5 common things candidates say or do that can seriously hurt your chances — and what to do instead.

  • Why saying “Can you send my CV everywhere?” is a red flag for recruiters
  • The real impact of ghosting during the hiring process (and what to do instead)
  • Why “I’m open to anything” isn’t as helpful as you think
  • The problem with asking for the company name too early
  • How badmouthing past employers or recruiters can come back to haunt you
  • What recruiters actually do — and why we can’t “find you a job”
  • Practical ways to build better relationships with recruiters who can help your career

If you’re an expat in the Netherlands or Europe trying to land a new role or make a career shift, this episode will give you honest, practical advice from a recruiter who gets what you're going through.
