This past summer, I worked at a staffing agency called FTSI.Tech. I wanted to talk about this for one of my blog posts because I did some form of sales this summer. A staffing agency is is a company where you recruit people for certain jobs. You’re like a headhunter. This internship had a mixture of human resources (my major) as well as some sales.<\/p>\n
You’re probably wondering, how is there sales involved in recruiting? Well, this summer my job was to find people that fit the qualifications for the job and try to convince them to leave their current job and work for the one I’m recruiting for. If I’m being honest, it was for sure hard in the beginning. Having to call people with never talking to them before was super intimidating, especially because I felt so much younger than the people I was calling. I learned though that it’s all about the people skills you have. If you can sound confident, relate to the person on the other end of the phone, and convince them that this opened job is a lot better than their current one, then you’ll do great in recruitment. It’s also about forming relationships with the people on the phone and never forcing them into something that they don’t want to do.<\/p>\n
Overall, I’m glad that I did that internship last summer because it allowed for me to realize that people skills are so important, especially in sales. Salesmen for sure have a bad reputation when you think of them as a whole, but the good ones are actually just trying to help people out. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
