Recruitment. If you want commission, you don't get to pick clients. Somedays you have to try and sell the job: infrequent hours labourer required, in the tropics - in a harbour port - in full cover overalls - sweeping exothermic mineral dust off conveyor belts. (tick box) Post whatever inspirational, well intended quotes you can Recruiters, It's a tough gig somedays, not every Client is a Forbes Top 10. I did six months of it, about half a lifetime ago for a young metro recruiter these days. Sometimes they get me in a time of need and win, sometimes they get upset I've been offered a better aligned role (sometimes from another recruiter). That's life, it's a game, don't hate on the players. One man in his career plays many parts.

I should have said don't get to pick clients or commission pay structure.
