College Recruiting
My first career landed me on two college campuses, recruiting the best students who were both creative + intelligent, and advising them towards their career path during their time at University. I spent two years recruiting graduate students at Salem State University in Massachusetts, then moved south and spent two years recruiting Business Advertising students at the University of South Florida. Much of this experience educating the younger generation has made me the professional that I am today.
Overlapping recruiting skills:
Relationship building
Public speaking
Understanding the client/students’ needs
Negotiating
Handling processes and procedures
This experience not only increased my empathy but inspired me to give back, to both the younger generation and to the community in general
