Nick's new job
Well it has finally happened I found myself a job I will be working for Robert Half as a recruiter. It is not what I moved down here expecting to do, but I am pretty excited about it. They specialize in placing Accounting and Finance professionals and like to hire people who have worked in the industry before coming to them so it kind of worked out. I will essentially become a glorified salesman of sorts and no a degree is necessary, but it makes me feel better that they pretty much only hire people who have degrees haha. I will be making a minimal base salary and will get a bonus each month depending on how many people I place in a job. So for the first 6 - 9 months or so I will not be making a ton of money, enough to live off of for sure but after I start rolling there could really be some good money in it. Hopefully the economy keeps improving and hopefully by the end of 2010 we are really starting to roll again. So not what I was expecting obviously, but hey you never know. I will say this people in this job all seemed to be very happy, which is a huge improvement over the people I worked with at my other jobs.

Nick, that is all good news. Hopefully you will have a fun expense account and get to go off to college towns and meet with students. I remember my older sister had to do that on a few occasions, she enjoyed it because she got to drink on Raymond James' dime. You should demand recruiting trips to DC, lots of colleges here.
congrats nick, as with any job that relies partially on commission, be sure to sock enough away in the good years to cover the bad ones. proud of you bud, you will do great i'm sure.
Nick...find me a job in Tampa. Congrats, I know Robert Half is a respected head hunter...CMC (my company) has used them on many occasions.
That is fantastic Nick. Yeah I hope that means you will get to do some traveling. It would be fun to party it up on someone else's tab. Are you starting before the holidays or after New Year's? Congrats again.
Good for you Nick! That sounds like something you'd be great at, working with people. Good luck & congrats!
Yea obviously the main negative is like J said the amount of money can swing heavily depending on the economy, so I will definitely have to be conscience about savings. I will be starting right after Christmas before New Years for a slow week to help me get my feet wet. Not sure how much traveling I will be doing outside of Charleston, but I know they do travel on occasion if they see it worth while. Expense account in da hoo!
i think it's time to start growing out the stash.. guys looking for jobs trust guys that have mustaches. it says, "hey i have your best interests at heart". also, you better get good at golf.
Does a mexi stash work? That is all I can grow.
