How to avoid recruiter burnout

posted by 
David Szary (9)

I don't know about you, but recruiting can be one of the best, most wonderful jobs I can think of (we change people's lives) or it can be a thankless, monotonous position that seems to never end!

 

Your ATTITUDE each day is critical to your success. 

 

With that said, many experts on personal achievement discuss the power of starting your day reading motivational/educational materials. 

 

I subscribe to a number of these e-newsletters and try to plan time before each day to read for 15 minutes (that�s it - 15 minutes!). It really helps me to stay motivated, focused, and energized. I find when I am reading on a regular basis, it has a big impact on my day! 

 

Some Examples:

 

Recruiting:

 - ere (of course)

 - JobMachine Shally Steckerl�s blog

 

Sales (recruiting is sales right?) 

 - Jeffrey Gitomer (he is great to get you pumped up for call sessions)

 

Motivation (we all can use it in this crazy world of recruiting)

 - Brian Tracy (I love his style/content)

 - Napolean Hill (someone I feel is one of the all time motivational/achievement experts!  Think and Grow Rich is a must read!)

 

Please feel free to comment and post what your motivational/educational materials are.
