I care about the Black Lives Matter movement. It is a movement, not a moment. I also care about all other minority groups who are being targeted for what they look like or where they are from. Take the time to learn about the issues other people are facing, it is very important to be informed and to be an ally.

Sure, your hybrid approach is the best. Every time think, computers can disappear in some day, but handwriting is never. Cooking is also very important, what if all restaurants get closed? Not a problem for you.

[@missygee6155]

The 2 o'clock heat wave you're experiencing (if it's not the heater kicking on or sun coming through the windows) could be a hormonal (insulin) response to the high carb/sugar lunch. If so, try switching to higher protein and fat and skip the juice, pasta and candy and see if that helps. My best 👌 😉

Do you want to take a huge pay cut

[@goodevening7870]

@@auroramothergoddess it’s nit always pay. SOME people are willing to give up a few dollars for ALOT of peace and contentment. Sometimes you spend more money unknowingly to satisfy your soul because you are not satisfied. Also some WFH jobs save you tons of lovey on gas , oil change, tires, insurance, uniforms, toll costs, star bucks, lunch outside the home, frustration from the drive that further drives you to feed your soul with other things like shopping more than usual in your days off … just the list hues on and on ……yes, a pay cut is worth it for some of us.

[@LifeWithBianka]

What advice would you give to someone who is looking to work in your field?

[@SarahsSituation]

This is a very “social” job, you talk allllll day long and it can be draining. Make sure you communicate with people you live with or have relationships with when your social blade is down and find a way to decompress and relax! Get used to changing schedules and moving plans to accommodate calls and meet ups! It’s a great job, but lots of work for sure!

[@aszia2real]

Any tips on how to get started on becoming a recruiter like where do you get trained on systems for it?

[@SarahsSituation]

From my experience it’s hard to pre-train on systems without knowing the one that a company you want to work for, uses. But looking up common systems and knowing their functions is a good start, understanding LinkedIn well is good as well! Getting started on recruitment will depend on what industry/ company you want to work for, but look up job descriptions that are what you want to do and look for skills you have and then how you can explain how you’ll learn the skills you don’t have! Apply and jump right in!

[@Ryleighxo.]

i would love this type of job

[@SarahsSituation]

I do enjoy it!

[@ann9787]

Can I ask how you were able to get into recruiting? Did you have any prior recruiting experience? I'm asking because I'm interested in applying for a recruiter position but I don't have any prior experience in recruiting. Thank you!

[@SarahsSituation]

Hello! I did not have prior recruitment experience before starting my first position. I think it helped that I had had jobs that were customer/ client facing where I provided information to them (serving/ restaurant positions, sports coach and retail). Also I am a very social person and give how much talking this role has, I was able to showcase clear communication, being personable and retaining information well. If you go into a certain area of recruitment (for example healthcare or tech) it’s helpful to have knowledge/ a background of those positions/ companies so you have a better understanding, but I don’t think that is always needed!

[@ann9787]

@@SarahsSituation Thank you so much for the informative reply! It was very helpful and I'll definitely keep that in mind. :-)

[@Madeline-te8nv]

are you in internal recruiting? where to start if I wanna get into this type of role? any advice? 😀

[@SarahsSituation]

I am now in internal recruitment, when I made this video I was not! I would start and see if you can be apart of hiring at your current job, whether that is sitting in on interviews, learning the process, writing job description, etc. Try to do recruitment in an area you understand, so if you work in retail, healthcare, energy sector, etc, start off in that space since you’ll understand the roles better then going to a totally unknown industry!

[@brandonkennedy1047]

I have my second interview for this position on Monday. Extremely nervous

[@SarahsSituation]

I hope it went well!!

[@laurahahasims]

I don’t know if you will see my comment but I’m interviewing for a entry-level recruiting position next week when you create documents did you already know how to do this or did they trained you on this? 😭

[@SarahsSituation]

I did not know how to do it, I was trained!! How did the interview go?!

[@auroramothergoddess]

I’m surprised you tell them they don’t get the job typically no companies do that that’s weird

[@SarahsSituation]

I definitely try to let all my candidates know, especially cause I want to share future opportunities so I like to build a relationship! I had a very manageable case load cause I was filling very specific roles, so luckily it wasn’t like 100’s of resumes I had to respond to

[@folksrocks]

is it not under NDA to post such private company content?

[@Riveraman08]

Have a Job interview tomm for a healthcare recruiter position. Any tips?

[@SarahsSituation]

Sorry I didn’t see this in time, I hope it went well!

[@Fourwindsofsuccess]

Is this job guaranteed a pay or is it all commission? I had an interview for a healthcare recruiter position but still trying to understand the pay situation for these roles.

[@SarahsSituation]

You should feel confident you understand the pay after an interview and follow up with them if you need clarification as I’m not going to be able to answer your situation! In my situation, I’ve only ever worked and been paid a guaranteed salary with opportunities for bonuses. Recruitment pay can be all commission based, salary, bonuses or a combination of all!

[@Fourwindsofsuccess]

Nice video

[@cortezswopes9973]

Hello i enjoyed your video, I would like to ask your advise. I’ve been working as the Station Commander for an Army Healthcare Recruiting Station for the past 4 years. I’m retiring from the Army in November. I was looking to transition into a healthcare recruiter position as a civilian. My career is challenging we have to find individuals physically, morally and mentally qualified to join the Army. We recruit Doctors, Nurses, Veterinarians and a million other fields. How is the salary, and what recommendations do you have? Looking at the traffic I was looking to work remote. I have over 10 years experience recruiting. I have supervised 2 stations and will have close to 5 years healthcare experience by the time I retire. What level position do you think I should apply for associate, entry level, mid level ect. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@SarahsSituation]

Hello! It sounds like you have really strong experience in the healthcare recruiting space, I’m sure the army is harder to convince professionals to join, than it would be for a regular position! I personally don’t know what the salary expectations are in that space, as it will depend where you live, but if you do some salary review Google search you should get an idea for your area! I see tons of remote work opportunities, but again it will depend where you live what is available. I don’t have much direct advise, but over all you sound very qualified in your space and if you write a strong resume, describing the work you have done with qualitative and quantitative examples, I anticipate you’ll find what you’re looking for - best or luck!!

[@isaacnkansah1224]

[@MM-vl5mo]

Is it stressful? Does your company have a quota you’re expected to meet?

[@SarahsSituation]

It can be stressful, but at the end of the day it’s all about time management. I think the hardest part is the days you don’t feel very social, it’s hard to do your job because all you do is talk to people haha. Quotas in the sense that the role needs to be filled with a valuable candidate one way or another, I cannot just not fill a role!

[@MM-vl5mo]

@@SarahsSituation thanks for the advice! I was looking into this line of work. Your video was very helpful!

[@dhuggallday21]

Hi...Are you still in the recruiting industry?

[@SarahsSituation]

Not as directly as before!

[@jasminepearls1047]

You can't send them an email to tell them that they didn't get a job?

[@SarahsSituation]

It depends on the situation and how far in the interview process someone gets. You can call or email, I normally call when someone has put in a lot of time or if I suspect they will have many questions :)

[@cancan2k10]

Are you still in recruiting? If so what do u reccomend someone do if they don't have experience and want to be a recruiter?

[@SarahsSituation]

Yes, I still am in recruiting! But now I work for a company and do recruitment for the company, instead of being hired for companies I don’t work for! Basically I’m not more in HR than just recruiting. If you do have a working history, I would start with trying to get a recruiting role in that space! For example, if you work in healthcare, you’ll have understanding of the industry and general understanding of what certain roles need to be effective. If you are just entering the work force, I would work on your people skills and communication skills, being able to clearly explain a role in a short period of time is huge. If you have a current job, try seeing if you can sit in on any hiring interviews or learn more about the hiring process!

[@diniandasha1305]

What kind of degree do one need for this?

[@SarahsSituation]

I think all degrees are relevant, just depends what type of recruiting you want to do! Being a nurse you would be valuable and educated on health care recruiting cause you can speak to candidates and understand job needs!

What type of recruiter are you?

[@SarahsSituation]

I work for an executive search firm that works in all industries, but I focus more on non for profit and post secondary positions!

[@CMarie_B]

The title of this video and the content didn't match. If you want more viewers you need to talk more about you- who you are, job title, your background/degrees, what a headhunter does and how you got the job/why you chose field. Instead this focused a tiny bit on you at your desk, then eating snack, lunch, waxing, store, then home..learned nothing about the core of what you do-type of clients, general work hours, pay structure. You may want to try this again.

[@SarahsSituation]

I totally understand your criticism :) but what I will say was it was more a day in my life to share with my viewers a bit about what I do, wasn’t necessarily intended to share everything about the job. I see that there has been interest in the topic though, so maybe I will do an updated one that shares more about the role itself. Over all I am a lifestyle channel where I share about me, not a recruitment channel :) but again, I appreciate your comment and will likely sure your feedback soon!

[@om12929]

So why are some recruiters getting payed more than a travel nurse?? Please answer this question

[@SarahsSituation]

How could I answer that question? There are 1 million reasons why one company may choose to pay their recruiter or a contractor they hired a certain wage, verses why a completely unrelated company may choose to pay travel nurses a certain wage? If recruiters make more money than travel nurses, then I guess travel nurses should quit and become recruiters 🤷🏽‍♀️ idk why you’re mad at me dude lol

[@om12929]

All this video showed me was how lazy a recruiter can be. This literally blew my mind. 😂 😆 💀. Bro y’all LAZY

[@SarahsSituation]

TRUST ME… won’t be lasting much longer I can guarantee you this 😉. And trust me we good over here 😂.

[@SarahsSituation]

“Recruiting began with the military and dates all the way back to ancient Egypt, Greece and Rome. The birth of the modern recruiting industry, however, did not take place until the 1940’s as a result of WWII. Employment agencies began to advertise for workers who were not obligated to military service in an effort to fill the void in the workplace left by those who were called to duty.” This job has been around for ages, and will continue on for ages.. who do you think hires at any company? Recruiters can be internal and external and do other functions than just hiring… I haven’t a clue why you are so bitter, every company needs to hire people and it’s not the CEO interviewing every applicant, soooo the job has to exist lmao but again, stay bitter!!!

[@om12929]

I’m almost positive you’re one of those crazy ones that literally try screwing all your nurses over lol. Be proud of your lazy self sweetie 😂 💀. You literally sit down all day clicking your mouse and watching Netflix 😂 🤦‍♂️…. I can’t with you

[@SarahsSituation]

I don’t recruit nurses or travel nurses, never did, I worked for an executive search firm, aka we only sourced for senior level roles at the C suite level - very different roles than travel nurses. I also no longer even do external recruiting, so again I hire for the company I work for, among many other things, for which has literally nothing to do with nurses or travel nurses …. But again, if I DID have a job where I got paid good money to click my mouse and watch Netflix, you simply could not make me feel bad about that LOL I am no where NEAR lazy, I have worked my ass off my entire life and everything I have achieved shows for that. I hope that you have happiness in your life and you don’t spend as much time as I suspect you do trying to tear people down online behind an NFT copied photo, for literally no reason.
