From June 1st to early December I served as an account manager, locating, meeting, and supplying clients with the talented individuals they needed to grow their businesses. This involved cold calling, office visits, lunch meetings, sporting events, and always maintaining a professional warmth that a relationship of trust and communication can be built on..

Though I served as a technical recruiter for only 41 days before being promoted again, I utilized the time to further develop my skills and experience, and more importantly to encourage the growth of the consultants I placed. During this time positive reviews from my consultants' employers increased, all of them had their contracts extended significantly.
