Personal Development and Recruitment

If you are or have worked in recruitment

Whether you have noticed it or not

You are likely to have developed massively on a personal level

(I’m sure there are many other professions that do this as well, admittedly I am a bit biased to recruitment!)

It is likely that your desk will have grown as you will have grown

Your resilience will have been pushed to the max

Your interpersonal and organisational skills will have had to be ‘on point’

To be successful, your mindset will have needed to be strong and positive

But no matter how good you are, we are all still work in progress

To supplement your ‘on the job’ personal development, I would highly recommend taking the time to read personal development books

You are likely to have times in your career when you are ‘on fire’

Other times recruitment will feel harder

If you are feeling a bit stale

Finding yourself losing confidence

Or simply needing a boost in this tough market

Then I would highly recommend buying yourself a personal development book!

Here are a some of my favourites that I would like to recommend to you, please comment if you can recommend any other good reads 😊

If you haven’t got time for reading full books or want to find out more about a book before buying, then download the app ‘blinkist’ which summarises the key areas of books in audio form

Take a look at the summary of each book online and see which resonate most with you.
