Become a recruiter?

Howdy ya'll,

Today seems to be much less depressing than yesterday. I woke up this morning (well, it wasn't so morning anymore when I did seeing that the sun had already risen), and went on to check my emails, missed calls, and Facebook as it is my routine. Two things here were of particular interest: I had a missed call from First Investors Corp. and received an email from Apex Systems. 

FIC has first contacted me two days ago, but for some reason me and the hiring person have been missing each other from the start. I get her voicemail when I call and I don't have my phone on me when she calls. Regardless, I don't know how I feel about selling financial services. That doesn't seem to fit into what I want to do with my life whatsoever and I'm not sure how that experience can benefit me in the long run. Anyone got any ideas?

Apex claims to be one of the top staffing agencies in the nation, a claim I have no reason to contest. Now that is more like something I'd be interested in than FIC for a number of reasons. Assuming that Apex makes its resources available, I do enjoy interacting with people and helping them find jobs. It'll also get me in touch with a large number of employers putting me in a good position helping struggling friends finding work after college (most of which have just graduated or are about to in May) and myself at some point. Apex I decided to pursue - I just replied to their email with my resume attached and the questionaire completed. They offer a base-salary (I don't know yet how much) and commission for placing people (it's not the best economy for that sort of job from what I heard from a friend who's working in a similar, but smaller company), as well as full benefits.

I have also found an interesting job last night for which I have started working on the application but had to put it on hold until today due to fatigue last night. I'll be writing about that position a bit more a little later today when I'm done applying for that position.

I'm looking forward to comments and ideas from you!

Johnny
