Burnt out with recruiting
Currently working as a recruiter and I'm burnt out - done. My current work environment is not helping. I've began the dreaded job search for another position.

A few comments on the terrible job market and how overly critical the hiring side is on this right now:

Dealing with call outs
I’m curious if others experience noisy co workers even management asking why you called out. And what do you say? I’m personally starting to find it annoying. Does anyone else find it annoying and what do you say?

If you were in recruitment and over it, are you interested in other functions within HR? Such as HR Generalist work? Benefits work? Or are you looking for a totally different career path?

Perhaps something related to building community or connections? You have to look at the skills and experience being a recruiter has given you to see if there is cross over in another field. Think as though you were recruiting yourself for a non-recruiter job, if that makes sense. What would you want to see on your resume that would encourage you to give yourself an interview?
