WHAT MADE YOU INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN RECRUITING? As my career path has taken a few turns along the way to becoming a recruiter, it always moved in the direction of finding true meaning in my work. There is nothing more satisfying than working with a candidate through the journey of placing them in a job that ultimately changes their life. WHAT ARE YOUR PERSONAL VALUES THAT HELP YOU IN YOUR JOB? I most value being authentic, having open communication and behaving with high ethical standards. Given these traits, I am able to personally connect with candidates and clients, build trust, and develop long-term relationships. WHAT DID YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP? I always wanted to be a teacher and so I am not surprised I became a recruiter. Like a teacher taking a student under their wing, there are many similarities in working with candidates: guiding their careers, giving interview preparation advice, making suggestions for their resume and professional correspondence. WHAT IS YOUR GUILTY PLEASURE? I have managed to eliminate most sugar from my diet, but I cannot resist a toasted marshmallow.
