"I would put my 2 cents in here.  Recruiting has many wonderful moments.  If you are willing to push forward you can make a great career.  Look for a company that gives some kind of base - 30k is not unheard of for a first year…"

"Andres, If you take this job the only reason you should take is to have the connections to call into companies looking for a new job for yourself.  A lot of people do that albeit it is not the most ethical thing to do but it's done…"

"Thanks Amber! I appreciate you taking time out of your day to reply to this.  I am definitely using all of this data to make my decision.  "

Amber replied to Andres Salazar's discussion 'Introducing myself and getting my feet wet'
"Andres, as a former sales manager and current owner, I can tell you 100% that those who are reluctant to be on the phone for most of the day eventually get out or are put out. I came into recruiting when the company I worked for 18 years shut all…"

"Yes, I am the leader in my groups. Since I was a child people have told me I have the gift of gab and should go in sales.   The question becomes, do I want to be tied to a desk all day and the phone.  And can I make it past the hump with a…"

"Andres - have you ever sold a product before?  If so - was it difficult?  And if so - giving the difficulty of having sold the item - did you ever have the product then decide at the last minute that in fact it never agreed to being…"

"I would say $ is the top motivator, although other things (flexibility, entrepreneurial focus) can be very very close 2nds... I have seen recruiters start in the industry because their #1 motivator has been people or helping others. I've not…"

"So Bill and Jerry and others, sounds like Financial reward is the main motivator for recruiters, or at least your personal motivator.  I'm not putting a value-judgement on it, I just want to understand.   I am meeting them again…"

"My good recruiters had a picture of their next car, house, vacation, etc.  on their screen saver.   Good Luck to you.  Money should be your motivator.  The rest of the stuff is a by product of doing things ethically. "

"Andres - perhaps this would be a better reply if I could be anonymous and tell you what really motivates me - but I'll try to sum it up even though clients and candidates might bump into this comment many years from now.   I am motivated…"

"Thanks Amy and Sandra.  I appreciate your candor.  Making connections and working with people does motivate me, as I mentioned before, maybe I should ask you all:   What motivates you to work in Recruiting? Because your…"

Amy Ala replied to Andres Salazar's discussion 'Introducing myself and getting my feet wet'
"Hi Andres - Sandra is exactly right. Helping people is more a side effect of the recruiting business, not the primary function - to be honest. If you are mostly motivated by helping others you will be let down and frustrated more often than not in…"

Sandra McCartt replied to Andres Salazar's discussion 'Introducing myself and getting my feet wet'
"Andres, if you do not have the financial ability to live on the draw being offered for at least six months i would strongly suggest that you not consider going into recruiting.  Although we do help people if you are focused on recruiting as an…"

"Andres, sounds like you may be entering into my field.  I worked on a draw a few years back and it ended disasterously.  I will never do that again.  I do however work in Medical Recruiting and California is pretty hot right now...so…"

"I had another meeting today.  It was a good experience to see how the business is running. Listening to the  calls and observing.  One thing is I did feel it slightly a challenge to concentrate with multiple people taking calls. Also,…"

"Andres, welcome to the group. I will echo Jerry. If you are not a fan of the phone recruiting is not going to be a good career move for you. You mention a "bull pen"type office arrangement so it sounds like almost a telemarketing…"
