Present Job Title:
Recruiting Operations Manager
Brief description of my job responsibilities, e.g. a typical week in my job:
I am responsible for the
recruitment, managing the day-to-day activities in the recruiting
department and overseeing the administrative team,
selection and
retention of college graduates for our entry-level
training program in the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and
West Coast regions of the country. I travel about 5 days a
week through the recruiting season which runs from September
to April.
Suggestions I would give to undergraduate students with regard to courses,
internships, and other means of preparation for my career field:
If you are interested in a recruiting position, you need
experience in public speaking or recruitment in organizations.
It looks great if you are involved with the recruitment for
a business or social fraternity/sorority. Sales is a big
part of recruiting so be very open to that experience.
My career path in getting to this position:
I started with Ferguson in their entry level sales/management
training program.
Other advice for students interested in gaining entry into and pursuing a career
in this field:
You
must have patience. It is a hard field to look for a career. Be open to starting
in a different career path and working your way into Human Resources.
