Something every Spark-ED member job hunting needs to hear.
That fifteen minute "quick call" a recruiter asks for is not casual, it's the interview.
The recruiter is already forming a yes or no in that fifteen minutes, before a single formal interview ever gets scheduled.
Prep this call exactly like you'd prep a full interview. Know your one line answer to "walk me through your background," and have one sharp question about the role ready.
Drop below the last "quick call" you almost went into unprepared.
