Comes from a heart

I didnt think I have a demanding job but because of my job nature,I didn't have the best job either.
I wasn't high paid but I am happy cos' I offset with the non-monetary rewards I received from this job.I decided that happiness and satisfaction of a job well done is better than getting higher pay(which can never be deemed enough) but you lead a miserable 8 hours and more.
That is my prerogative for now.

A Recruitment Consultant is actually more of a sales job than actual HR from a insider's point of view. We know of consultants that don't fit to the actual term of Consultant but are merely doing their job, closing their sales and that's it.

I would like to think I am a good Consultant. Closing a deal is my job and of cos' I am happy. But I do my service from my heart. I try from the bottom of my heart to provide a personalised service to most of my candidates.
My job is to source for right candidate, do the right matching, try to persuade them to get the job and close my deal. That is my job but I would do more of that for my candidates.
When they go for interviews, I give them confidence, tips and advices.

By far, I have received compliments from some. Some thanking me for getting them a good job, higher pay and or simply a source of income which means survival. Some thanking me for trying hard and giving them advices and tips along the way.
Simply to me, a Thank You would suffice. I never think I help them to get a job. I think they get the job themselves. But still a Thank You would suffice, making me feel appreciated.

I don't meet nice people all the way. I have my fair share of people who just deserved to die outta unemployment out there, people who deserved to die of hunger and proverty and those people, just are fuckers!
Those are the ones who never appreciate what you did for them, shift all the blame to you, talk as if you owe them a living.

Through my managers, I matured alot during this period and I feel I still have so much to go in terms of managing interpersonal relations.
It's not easy to retain your cool and not let whatever bad things that happen to affect you.
I have become more firm in my role and I learned that somethings, you just can't let your own feelings get in the way. Sometimes you may feel sorry but you would still have to maintain the rules of your job, maintain your stand.

Coming this far...I say every single of my deals come not easy. Maybe unlike big agencies out there, consultants do their job for the final aim of closing deal. I feel I've done more than that. That too is my job aim but not my objective when I do my work.

I feel tired somedays.I feel inspired somedays. I feel happy somedays and I feel depressed somedays.
All that, because I do it from my heart.

You realised that makes you live cos' you are doing things that matter to you.
