Inspire

I love movies, and I always find an inspiration in the good ones regardless of their genre. I believe that thanks to a movie I got my first job. I was a fresh grad and eager to start a career in HR. One of the jobs I applied for was recruiter, and happily I got an interview. I was prepared with all the right answers for why I am pursuing the HR field. When the interviewer explained more about the Job of associate headhunter and executive search, all I knew about headhunting at that time was from an American movie I watched the night before. I was honest and I explained why I am interested in the job; by my little review on the role of the lead character; who was a headhunter, and how it seemed and sounded so interesting. I didn't believe that I got that job. According to my previous manager; she could see my talent and that I had the right personality for the role. Since then and I consider myself lucky that I am having a career which is more of a passion than a job.
