In today’s show, Chris interviews Michael Glinter, professional leadership, staffing, and career consultant. Since 1999, Michael has placed thousands of employees across the globe. In today’s show, listeners will get a peek into the playbook of elite recruiters like Michael and learn how the staffing industry as a whole operates.
After graduation, Michael started working at Coca Cola but was quick to realize that he was not cut out to work in a traditional, conservative setting.
This is when the opportunity to work in the staffing industry came knocking on Michael’s door. Initially, Michael was reluctant to leave his cushy job to work on a 100% commission. However, his parents gave him the much-needed push and Michael took the leap.
9 months after getting hired, Michael became the top recruiter in his firm – a position that he held for 21 straight years.
Recently, Michael has decided to quit his job to venture out on his own.
So, what makes Michael tick? What are some of the reasons behind his incredible success?
One theme that we touch upon is the need to take calculated risks. Especially, when you are young and have fewer responsibilities, you can experiment and venture out in less-tested waters.
Listeners will also learn how they can create a successful side hustle, and slowly but surely turn it into their main hustle.
Towards the end, Michael has some great advice for young entrepreneurs and professionals. One thing that Michael has learned the hard way is the importance of maintaining relationships. So, if you have burnt some bridges on your way to success, this segment of the show will interest you greatly.
Enjoy!
