How similar is recruiting to traditional sales work? For example I worked in property management/leasing and in retail for years and didn't care for it too much. I'm currently a recruiting coordinator and want to know how it compares to an average sales job. Thanks!

I’ve been in sales since I was 18 and took my first role in recruiting 4 years ago. The skills you would use for prospecting and taking rejection transfer over nicely. But in recruiting, it’s not a one and done sale. You don’t just grab a credit card or make a sale and then you’re done. You need to actually develop long term relationships because in recruiting the “sale” is constantly taking place. Each hour your employee works, you get paid. Or if they are direct placements, they have to actually get the job and stay there for a while to get paid.

I've been a government attorney for nearly three years now and have worked in the same office/division since I passed the bar. I've yet to receive a promotion other than two cost of living increases (in sum, a pay increase of 6k over 3 years). I know this is meager, but I'm mostly ok with it, I just want to see some recognition. On the other hand, it's hard for me to imagine negotiating because (given my inexperience), I don't feel I'd be able to do better anywhere else. Any advice?
