<div><p>I personally believe recruiter should have the convincing skills and I have it. Moreover, I love the challenge. Everyday is different, meeting and working with new people. Above all, it feels good to help someone find a better opportunity in the marketplace. Thanks</p>

I started recruiting with Metric-X, <a href="http://www.metricx.com/services-and-solutions/talent-placement">http://www.metricx.com/services-and-solutions/talent-placement</a>, and though I am just starting out in recruiting (as well as my career), I have never had a job that could be more exciting/nerve racking yet rewarding. It was funny though, before I took this job, I had an offer to become a recruiter and turned it down because of the payment structure. I guess I was just meant to end up…

as most of us have mentioned, I don't know if anyone became a recruiter on purpose... I was working in advertising when one of my newspaper reps said "hey you'd be a great recruiter!" I said "what's that?"

It was a pure "by chance" scenario for me. I was a sales guy, selling golf equipments... Lost my job & was looking for a change... as the golf industry is relatively smaller in India. An old friend offered me a job as a recruiter, i only took it as a stop-gap arrangement but since i went deep into recruiting... loved it so much... never looked back.

<p>I started a little over 2 years ago, when the company I worked for shut all the U.S. offices. I looked at my past years in sales, working for various types of companies, and decided to join my husband full time in recruiting.

<p>But, I LOVE it! I get to read about people's lives, talk to some of them about what they've done, places they've lived, and what their next steps might be. I get to work with some really fantastic clients, and some other recruiters.

<p>It was a choice or being a shrink or a recruiter. I opted for being a recruiter. I get to work with even a larger number of crazy people with problems and none of them have committed suicide on the way out of my office, if they take drugs they don't get them from me, if they show up drunk i can throw them out, i can't and don't ask them who they sleep with or if they have one leg shorter than the other or if their mother potty trained them too early.

<p>It was a choice or being a shrink or a recruiter. I opted for being a recruiter. I get to work with even a larger number of crazy people with problems and none of them have committed suicide on the way out of my office, if they take drugs they don't get them from me, if they show up drunk i can throw them out, i can't and don't ask them who they sleep with or if they have one leg shorter than the other or if their mother potty trained them too early. I don't care how they feel about their mommy and daddy or siblings. My fees are higher than most shrinks, i don't have to go to the emergency room in the middle of the night and most importantly. It's inside and i can sit down. and most of all i don't have to worry about Obamacare paying or rejecting my fees.</p>

<p>It was kind of a no brainer and didn't require all those years in college.</p>
