Job Search Headhunters
Is is possible for a Headhunter to find career in traditional HR?
I have about 6 years HR experiences (Organizational Dev, Employee Relations, Training, Admin.) I just got a job offer as an executive search consultant. This sounds like a great job for my personality as I love networking and prefer a fast pace life. Plus I'm still relatively young and a bit sick of being bogged down by a 9-5 job.
The problem is I anticipate only being a headhunter for 2-3 years.
I am not sure if I can go back to being a HR, Recruitment or Training Mgr after the 2-3 years.
I hate to say but this probably has one of the highest burnout rates of all types of jobs out there. Unless you work in one of the few reputable specialized firms, you probably have very little respect for yourself in a little while.
It's an unbelievably tough job in which you need to canvas potential customers for likely job prospects to fill. You'll need to look through about 400 resumes a day. Since it's commission based, there's a dire need to canvas the positions and look through the resumes as fast as possible.
In addition, you'll have to try to convince likely candidates to switch out of their current jobs with the likeliness the next job will be better. Since you want to convince them without suspicion, you'll have to use your lunch periods to talk to them during theirs or talk to them around 5-6pm.
Finally, expect people to treat you as poorly as possible because you're considered in one of the lowest positions one can attain.

I am in search of a receptionist/administrative assistant position!!?
I am currently looking for a position as a receptionist or administrative position. I have been on craigslist.com,monster.com,careerbuilders.com and recently headhunters. i am not having any luck. plus i've been to about 4 job agencies which seem to hype it up but i dont hear from them no more or i would call and they tell me they are still looking for me.
any ideas anyone? thanks!!
The best thing to do is get yourself OUT there and look for something. You can start out by calling ahead to places that you may be interested in, but you will have the most luck with just getting out there! Dress to impress, have your resumes and references ready to pass out, smile, and go get you a job!
After posting my resume on monster, applying for jobs online, and even mailing out my resume, i got nothing back. I got dressed up, went to every bank i drove by, introduced myself and passed out resumes, and had 2 job offers within 4 days. YOU CAN DO IT!
