Looking Up Part 2

I have some pretty good news.  I have two interviews next week for staffing companies.  Even if I don't get the job, I'm going to try to work on making an impression for them to keep my information so that they can find me another job.

One company sounded really interested in me which I'm really excited.  The other company was curious about my work but wanted someone who has more sales experience.

I was very impressed with the fact that I had all these phone calls today while I was at work.  I had to somehow maneuver my phone calls after my hiring session today before anyone from work came into the office.  It's not an easy thing to do.

I feel like things are looking up.  I love what I do and I try to show that passion in my interviews.

The second company that wasn't really interested in what I had to offer, the recruiter was kind enough to offer me an informational interview.  I'll be able to ask questions about what I need to do to be a better recruiter.

I knew that there are some sales involved with being a recruiter as I've seen some of the job descriptions requiring that information.  And anybody who needs to work with other people and try to sell what they have, needs marketing or sales.

My resume does not show that I had sales because it was so long ago.  I only have the last 10 years of my experience.  But my very first job was a salesperson at JCPenney.  I can't say was the best salesperson, but I came up with some very ingenious ways to sell products and I learned how to talk to people.  My best sales job was working for a CD and video store part-time.  Since I'm passionate about music I was able to sell all kinds of music.  If that job was a type of job that required me to work on sales and bonuses and stuff like that, I would have done pretty well.  I remember selling all kinds of music to all kinds of people because music was and is a passion of mine.

So, I don't know if I want to put that on my resume.  Also, there are a couple jobs that have been requiring experience in banking, finances, and bookkeeping.  My last job had me working with bookkeeping and banking for the company.  But I have extensive experience in banking for my first 10 years of employment experience.

I don't know.  I don't want to seem to experienced in work and I want to keep my chances up.  But I don't mind telling recruiters that hey, I have this experience I just I'm not sure that's something I want to pursue. 

Tomorrow, I finish hiring.  Hiring is been tough this week.  Lesson half of my appointments have shown that which is not good.  My goal is 5 to 6 but I pushed for 10 to 12 so that I can make sure I make the goals.  This week I will have five already and if the people arrive tomorrow then I'll have extra hires.
