The right recruiter can be your greatest ally in the job hunting process. They can lead you towards postings you might not have discovered on your own, help negotiate important job details with a prospective new employer, show resources for brushing up on some key skills, help with interview preparations, and even motivate you when you’re feeling hopeless.

For one, jobs were more likely to be physical, such as in factories or agriculture, where it was impossible to not be on site.
