Healthcare Recruiter Job Questions & Answers

Sort by:
I just got a job as a Healthcare Recruiter. What does everybody think about recruiting? Good field? Bad field? Thanks A B, but my job is a very good base salary PLUS commission. So it's not like your every day run of the mill recruiting job where you just work off of commission.

I want to be a corpsman, but I have eczema, and with the smallpox vaccine, I could get severely sick and die. My recruiter tried to screw me over once, so I'm trying to do this on my own. Please, if you can help me, please respond, thank you.

Hi, I want to serve in the army, but I have no idea what is out there. The army's website is so confusing. I know i sound a little dum, but i'm just looking for options after i graduate high school. I would really like to hear from women who are in the army, what they do, and the procedure for joining. I would just like to know more about the Army from real people. I'm planning on going to a recruiter soon.I think it would be such an honor to serve our country. Thanks for your time!

I graduated with a BSN degree in the Philippines, passed the NCLEX and now I am a registered nurse in califonia... I contacted a military recruiter and they told me that in order to join the military as a nurse I should get my masters because they won't credit my BSN degree cause i studied abroad and not in the US territory... Is there any other way that they'll credit my BSN degree and eventually join the military as a nurse and not enlisted?

I graduated with a business degree and am currently unemployed. I worked for about 10 month as a stock broker and got my series 7/63 but all the cold calling just wasn't for me, I wanted a more hands on job in finance like a financial analyst or a trader. The job market is really competitive so I wanted to take this free unemployment time I have to make myself more desirable to employers by learning a skill like vba, sql or java to help land my dream job. Which skill would help boost my resume the most?

In four years my husband and I are moving to Ireland. he is an Irish citizen so we don't need to worry about working papers. I have two more years of school left and I'm stuck on what to major in. I know the economy in Ireland is great right now but I don't know much about the job market. It would be great if I could get some ideas on what fields are in need of people right now. Thank you!

I would really enjoy a career where I can interview students (i.e., something in admissions). Can anyone give me some examples of relevant jobs? On a side note, I will be getting my Ph.D. in social psychology. Is it possible to use this to get an admissions job, preferably with a good salary? Thanks a lot!

Is it possible to get into medical / surgical sales with a finance background (in the healthcare industry)? I don't seem to get any response from my resume. I don't have b2b sales experience. (For selling & people skills, the only thing close that I have is retail sales exp & waitressing exp.) What should I do?

In the economy of today, jobs are most certainly an achievement to acquire. However, I'd like to gain a bit of insight before the actual choosing begins. I still have a few years, or so, before I will need a job, but I'd like to ask the workers their opinion. I am not necessarily looking for one such job with a high salary, but instead one that I could enjoy and cherish. Thank you for your help.

Any advise from those who have an idea of how the AF works would be much appreciated in terms of getting a medical/dental job. Thanx!
