When I started my career, now when I, my whole theme and I think the theme for the show is change is good and it's the only thing of course that you can expect in life is that we're going to have change. When you learn to embrace it, This journey that we're on becomes so much more exciting and so much more relevant and beautiful. And so I've changed my career often.

So I went from being a homemaker to working part-time retail to being retail manager. I really love sales, but I don't want to wait for people to walk in. I want to sell. So I thought, so I looked at all the jobs in the newspaper and I didn't have my degree. That prevented me from applying for many jobs, which...

Today, when I'm looking at resumes, I keep that in mind because there are some people that do not have the MBA, the PhD, even a degree that are fantastic. And we cannot overlook that. And that's one of the things with AI that we'll talk about later. So because I never let that stop me, I never let it stop me from moving ahead in life. So I took the first outside sales job ever.

that someone would hire me. And that was with waste management, selling large garbage containers from behind shopping malls. I thought I'm going to do two years and have a proven sales track record. And then I'm going to use that as a springboard to get into a better career. So I was very successful at that.

And one day I was sitting in my car, probably in the back of a shopping mall by a garbage can. And my phone rang and it was this man. And he said, you don't know me. I'm a headhunter and I work at this firm.

And I am wondering, someone gave me your name and they said that you might be able to connect me with somebody in the waste industry that would be suitable for handling pulp and paper waste from these pulp and paper manufacturing plants. And I said, I could do that. I didn't know what a headhunter was. I didn't know what a recruiter was. I went to see him. I interviewed for the role.

And as I went through the process... I was infatuated with this. So I was offered the job, which was very exciting because it was an excellent sales job, you know, where I got to travel and I would have my own F-150 truck. I'm like, this is it. I've made it big time. But I said, I told the recruiter who owned the company, I don't want to do that. I want to do this. I want to do what you're doing.

I find it fascinating and I love connecting people. So can I work with you? So I started to talk to him and interview with him, and then he wanted to hire me. And I thought, wait now, if I look around at the other recruiters, what company is the best recruitment company here? And there was only a few.

And when you're not where you want to be, I want to help people change the trajectory of their life is what I feel a good recruiter can do. So when I was a recruiter, at that time, my father was ill.
