Job Recruiter

December 2019 - November 2020 • Ypsilanti, MI

What I liked

I loved how flexible the job was. I know the job won't be available for another 10 years, but as a recruiter I was able to coordinate events myself, then go to these events and talk to people and it was really up to my own schedule.

What I wish was different

I wish that the job wasn't ended early. It was also a little bit disorganized, but that's to be expected since it's a once in a 10-year operation

Advice

It was a great experience and I really don't regret it. If there's an opportunity, even if you're working another job which I was, make sure to take it! Because my other job ended up being canceled due to Corona virus but I'm still able to work this one.
