A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A TRAINEE RECRUITMENT CONSULTANT | Recruitment Professionals

When you're new to the recruitment industry, or looking to start your career as a Recruitment Consultant, it can be hard to know what to expect. In this video I interview a trainee consultant called Jordan, who started his career in recruitment in February 2022. We chat all about what a typical day is like for him, what he's learnt since he started the role and how he's coped with the ups and downs of the job.
It's an informative and honest chat, and I'd like to say a big thank you to Jordan for taking the time to speak with me. If you would like to connect with Jordan you can find him on LinkedIn - / jordanoaten-engineerin... .

    I want to get into recruitment but don’t feel ready enough due to lack of confidence when it comes to working on the phone and communication in general, is their anything you would suggest in this situation?

    What can help is getting a job in the interim that will give you some experience in dealing with and speaking to people on the phone. I worked in a call centre before I went into recruitment, and it was the perfect experience for me to develop my skills and prepare me for the working world. I had training to help me get used to working on the phone all day. If you're not keen on something like that, even a customer facing job would be beneficial to give you some confidence. If you join the right recruitment company, they will give you training and help you develop your communication skills don't worry :). Hope that helps.
