There's one point I would like to make because when I'm talking to people considering a career in recruitment, I think if you're good hearted, which most of us are, there's this perception that a lot of the work that we do is finding people jobs and we don't. And the reason I mentioned that is is that of all the roles that we play, the one that I try not to play is serving as a therapist, right?
Because a therapist is really working with somebody that's got a lot of emotional and things that they can do on their own or with loved ones to do that.

So if you have somebody who's very traumatized and they're clinging to you because they think you're going to find them a job, you're not doing them any help or service by taking a lot of their time and a lot of your time to take care of them because you won't be able to in the long run. I don't want to leave on a negative note, but I think that's really important.

And I've had those conversations with people over the years where I've told them, I can't help you, but here's what you can do. And it's amazing. A lot of those people have come back to me and thanked me for being candid and giving them some other paths to explore and how that's really helped them out.
