"I used to work in the Benefits Department as a Benefits Specialist. I enjoyed the work and was in the department for a couple of years. My cubicle was next to a Talent Acquisition Specialist though, and I spent a lot of time listening to him talking with hiring managers about the type of candidate they were looking for and making phone calls to applicants. I found myself much more interested in his work than my own - although don't worry, I made sure to remain focused and give my Benefits work 100% of my effort and attention. I decided to watch for an opportunity in Talent Acquisition, which is why I've applied for this role. I believe my Benefits experience will help make me a better Talent Acquisition Specialist since I have a solid understanding of benefits and can clearly communicate to a candidate what their total rewards statement would look like."
