Has a recruiter reached out to you while you were gainfully employed? Initially, it might annoy you. Some candidates don’t want to be bothered when they aren’t actively looking for a new job. Keep in mind that recruiters regularly reach out to candidates who are working.

Q: Should I put a temporary position on my resume? A: Definitely. You should never leave off or try to mask a temporary position on your resume. Why? If you leave the position off completely, there will be an unanswered career gap on your resume, which is a red flag for employers. Employers will also be cautious if a previous employer comes up on your background check that wasn’t listed on your resume.
