As a recruiter I was trained in professional selling skills and coaching, and tasked with seeking out the most qualified men and women our country has to offer. I became familiar with the recruitment process from applicant prospecting to preparation for recruit training. I worked in an environment external to the normal Marine Corps installation. Typical functions included preliminary screening and administrative processing, scheduling physical examinations, completion of enlistment documents, and maintaining accurate records. Upon completion of two years as a canvassing recruiter, I was given the additional responsibility of successfully managing Recruiting Station Carson City, NV, three canvassing recruiters, and over 300 applicants.
