Navigating the headhunters effectively is one of the key components of landing your dream job and earning €200k+, so it is critical that you approach it correctly. Keep in mind that most of the roles in the industry are filled through headhunters. First impression is really the key to success here. If you position yourself well with them, they can open up a lot of doors for you and will be a tremendous help. However, if you leave a poor first impression, a lot of doors would remain shut for you and you might not get invited for processes that you are very keen on.
