Time flies ( A late day two)

Okay i did have every intention of making this a daily thing, but I've been a good little worker and been busy, I think the impression is that this time of year can be slow for recruitment companies, but i think that's just narrow minded, people still need work and certain companies are going to be busier this time of year, I think this is the problem with recruitment, companies choose to specialise in a particular area and have no sense of urgency because history dictates this is a slow time of year for their field. I see recruiters at sales people, and isn't the rule of sales "your only as good as your next sale?" So why would you want to settle with a slow month?
Rant over
Okay so I've been doing this for 9 weeks now and I've successfully found 8 people new jobs, and have another 2 due to start, they varied in their jobs from mechanics to copywriters all of them deserved the positions and have been a pleasure to represent. Its been exciting and scary at the same time, reminding me of my own interviews. The one thing that surprises me most is how nervous the interviewers can be..... both during the process and after, it makes this so satisfying when we succeed together. Don't get me wrong there has been some huge mis-judgements on both parts, but like with life you have to make mistakes, right?
The one thing that is becoming more obvious about this "career choice" is that its a lifestyle choice, it does start to take over your life. I find myself thinking and worrying about my candidates during their first day, I'm taking phone calls at 9pm to gossip about their first day.

funny thing, I was talking to my new boss, she was telling me about arguments she would have with her fella, get a phone call from a candidate- then have to switch on the "happy" recruiter, while he was steaming in the background at how she could be soooooo nice to them and been sooooo mean to him -

I cried with laughter as the day she told me I had a similar experience with the missus the night before.

I'll say this once for me to do this to the best of my ability I realise I will owe most of it to the love, support and patience of my better half. I love you and hope I can bring you the same happiness x

Whats interesting is my time with the company I'm at, I started there 16 months ago when the company was conceived as a telemarketer and as you would expect, people have left, and new people have replaced them..... what makes this great is the buzz you get from the enthusiasm in the new people, its fair to say commercially the service is great because the services are cost effective, but for money motivated individuals this is the biggest challenge, as we do have to work almost four times as hard to achieve targets/ commission. So i sympathise with the appeal of other companies offers, but won't waiver from my belief in this companies goal.

Again I'm feeling miles better, i hope this is remaining either entertaining or legible enough for you to stay interested.
