This past week was all about L-O-V-E. In honor of Valentine’s Day, I thought I would dedicate this post to the concept of love, not the sappy, Nicholas Sparks kind of love, a very different type—the love of a career. Most of us have some kind of idea of which direction we would like our career to go in. Whether you are a banker, a recruiter, a singer, an accountant, or a circus performer… you got there in some way or another. Ideally, you enjoy your profession, or at least some part of it. I think we can all agree that no job is perfect, and we don’t always love our jobs. Maybe you’re having a difficult week, or a difficult year—but passion for your job, at least in my opinion, is important to having a fulfilling life.
Recruiters are sometimes viewed as the bad guys. The nickname “head hunter” is enough to prove that. The truth is, yes, recruiters go to work to make money, just like everyone else in this world. But they don’t “steal people” from other companies. (Well not ALWAYS) The power of whether or not to leave a job for another is solely in the hands of the candidate. The choice to talk to a recruiter is up to you. If you are not completely in love with your position, or your working environment, why not see what other opportunities are out there? Reach for the stars, follow your dreams, and all those other cliché sayings!
