Don't give up at the first hurdle, keep trying.
Someone once told me to never give up on something I was passionate about, but to find a way of making it happen. No matter how long it takes or how many push backs you get, if you are passionate about something, aim to succeed.
Helping a 16 year old female get into her dream job
The feeling of helping someone get into their dream job is always an amazing feeling, especially when they have been trying to join for a couple of years. With every push back this young lady had, she never gave up on her dream, but also never gave up on me as a recruiter and because of that I was able to make it happen for her. She is now serving in the RA, currently deployed and is loving her Army career.
