Life is a routine, day after day, same things, different day and at the end of each you can lay your head down, close your eyes and know that with the next day, comes the chance to do some good. Some days are better than others, this is inevitable. A train delay, a disagreement with someone or the need to eat a salad for lunch when really you just want a big bowl of chips!
Every day that you get up and go into work, you want it to go well. You want to succeed, earn your money and walk out of the office feeling like you have accomplished something. But what about doing a good deed for someone else? In my walk of life, dealing with and helping people is the fundamental basis of what I do. Whether that is going out of my way to help a colleague or spend that extra time on the phone to a candidate in need as I watch my bowl of chips going cold.
Recruitment is a roller coaster, that’s the joy – and sometimes the frustration – that this job brings. As I leave the office each day and assess how it has gone, some days will have been more productive than others, as will be the same for all of course. And as I walk to the station…generally holding an umbrella this year, and ask myself “did I do something good today?” I ensure that the answer is always, “yes”. Make someone’s day today!
