			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have already connected with us on Social Media such as <a title="Edouard Thoumyre, Executive Recruiter on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/edouard.thoumyre" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, <a title="Edouard Thoumyre, Executive Recruiter on Linkedin" href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/edouardthoumyre" target="_blank">Linkedin</a> or <a title="Edouard Thoumyre tweeting about Recruitment" href="http://twitter.com/EdouardThoumyre" target="_blank">Twitter</a> for the purpose of looking for a job, it is a great way to stay updated with our <strong>job opportunities</strong>, <strong>job hunting tips and employment market news</strong>.</p>
<p>But you have to keep in mind that this won&#8217;t make us call you for a job unless you have also <strong>sent us your resume or applied to one of our jobs</strong> on our <a title="Job board with Luxury Goods career opportunities" href="http://www.AccurJobs.com" target="_blank">Job Board</a>. I see many people connecting with me on these social media tools or social networks asking me to keep them in mind when a good opportunity arise <strong>matching their previous experiences and professional skills</strong>.</p>
<p>With all the good will in the world, it is not possible to keep everyone in mind, this is why recruitment firms use ATS (Applicants Tracking System) to sort, search and select the best candidates for each job. <strong>If you are not is our Applicant Tracking System, you are loosing a lot of chances to be contacted.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People are sometimes embarrassed or find it too aggressive to <strong>contact Executive Recruiters or any employment agencies</strong> with an email <strong>including their resume</strong>. They sometimes think is it more appropriate or polite to <strong>ask for the permission to submit it</strong> later on<strong>.</strong> The truth is that there is a chance your initial email will not be considered and you will then never get this permission.</p>
<p>Executive Search firms and recruitment agencies work all the same. They are contacted by so many people that you, as a candidate, <strong>need to be very clear and striking upfront</strong>. It is right that we want to make sure you can be polite, but it is not enough!!!  We need to know right away what are your <strong>skills and previous experiences</strong> and obviously it is always a plus (or an obligation) to be polite.</p>
<p><strong>ALWAYS attach your resume </strong>when contacting a recruiter for the first time!</p>
