Understanding the Importance of Active Listening

Understanding the Importance of Active Listening by Channon Goodwin

The reality of the other person is not in what he reveals to you, but in what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says but rather, to what he does not say – Anonymous.

Communication skills are an integral part of any recruiter's career. While we often hear about the importance of written and verbal communication skills, seldom do we hear about the true importance of listening.

Listening is described by most communication experts as the quintessential communication skill. Poor listening skills are often the biggest contributor to overall poor communication.

As recruitment consultants, our need to communicate verbally is paramount, however, our first task should be to listen. Tuning out or simply hearing a message, aside from being rude and unprofessional, will hinder your success - How many opportunities have you overlooked because you simply didn't listen?

Where we make opportunities knock at your door !!

As a recent or up and coming graduate, you really are between 'a rock and hard place' in respect to what you can earn in comparison to what you have invested to possess an immense amount of specialist knowledge and experience.

It almost seems ridiculous that your newly inherent skills are not more highly regarded and it is no doubt disappointing that you cannot easily align yourself with an industry that encapsulates your knowledge, embraces your potential and builds on your experience to ensure your ultimate success, while all the way, remunerating you accordingly.

While median graduate salaries nationally, sit at an average of $36,500 (current, 2007), the recruitment industry is experiencing unprecedented growth and has the ability to offer you a market competitive base salary, plus superannuation, plus commission, plus, plus, plus!

Imagine what it would be like to earn a base salary of $55,000 upfront and an OTE of $80,000 all during your first year as a professional …… It can only get better … and it does!!
