"But when I stumbled upon recruiting as a career, it felt like my calling." Okay, I'm very interested in hearing more about how you stumbled into it and why it felt that way sometime!
Really vibing with The Backwards Law. And as a shitty swimmer, I'm a ✨drowner✨
I like the notion of “we aren’t what we do” but so much if that storyline is used an incentive to back away and distance ourselves from the wotk we engage. If we aren’t what we do, that frees us from identification from the role, and from being attached to the outcomes of our efforts, and in many ways it seems that’s where great work begins. Fully in the work without the work being in me. If I’m not what I do then I have the freedom and latitude to take more risks, play more, and experiment. When you said the words “technical recruiter” it made me wonder what a “technicolor recruiter” might be like? In any case I ‘m curious if you feel your interest waning in the role? Is that the upshot of your exploration, that you might need to be doing something else?
Very enjoyable read Rachael, as usual! Love the first topic you pose about separating your identity from how you make a living. It took me a while to do it, and can't say I'm completely cured, so your words and book recommendation fit me perfectly right now, thank you!
Also, didn't know you whee a lifeguard, I would love to hear some stories from that time!

Loved this issue, Rach. :)
'No Hagrid-like mentor burst into my dorm room shouting, "You're a recruiter, Rachael!"' - genius! :)
