QUESTION 10 OF 30

Walk me through the types of placements you have made in your recruitment career. In which industries are most interested?

"When I read in your job posting that you are looking for a recruiter with a specialty in accounting, I knew I had to apply. Before joining the world of recruitment, I was pursuing my accounting degree. I had two years completed towards my degree and then decided sales and recruitment was a better path for me. With that said, I have a lot of knowledge on accounting systems and terms, making me a perfect choice for this opportunity."

Any industry can call for the assistance of a recruiter; however, certain industries are better known for regularly engaging recruiters. These include:

- HealthCare
- Manufacturing
- Food & Restaurants
- IT & Software
- Accounting
- Office & Admin
- Engineering (all types)

Share with the interviewer what your specialties are, or which areas interest you the most. Perhaps you have a degree in a specific field of work. Maybe you worked in high-commission sales in the past, making you great at spotting terrific sales candidates. If the firm you are interviewing for has a specific niche, be sure never to single yourself out or talk yourself out of the role.

"Before becoming a recruiter, I worked in medical device sales. I have a solid reach into our state's medical network and also know how to spot an excellent sales candidate. I make fantastic placements in both the sales field for any industry or in the medical industry itself."
