I remember the Good Ole days back in the mid 90’s when Telecom was booming! Job orders were strong and candidates were climbing over each other. I was fortunate to be assigned to the Telecommunications recruiter with one of the largest staffing companies in the world of college.
Telecom was not the sexiest division and line of business for human resources recruiter and sales manager back then and I can not say much has changed. In many ways this is good! One of the best ways to become successful in humans is to carve out a niche. Learn about the industry and part subgroups within. Become an authority figure.
I dipped my toe in the IT staffing market for several years, and as much as I tried to enjoy this moment I could not find the passion. Undoubtedly, IT Recruitment is a lucrative business model and plenty of recruiters and sales managers have been remarkably successful! It just was not for me. The competition was fierce, the opportunity seemed saturated, and offer our services was one of many.
Oh Telecom, I just can not stop you!
When I jumped back into Telecommunications recruitment, I realized landscape and technology has changed dramatically. You see, back in the Hay Day, I was PBX king! If my clients had SL1 Meridian Technician or Engineer NEC 2400, I was the go-to-guy of them.
The terms common back then follows:
-Switch Technician
-Cable Puller
takkanumályklaborðinu System Technician
-Central Office Technician
-OSP Engineer
– NOC Engineer / Manager
While some of these terms and techniques still exists, it is no longer a demand nor a trick of the day.
Wireless …
I’m learning quickly Wireless is here and now. I feel like a 24 year old again gone out of business. I’m learning a tremendous amount about the wireless industry, development, skill sets, and technology. It is incredibly exciting to be back.
Nowadays, the number of wireless communications lingo one must experience these few terms:
-DAS
-Small Cell
-Backhaul
-LTE
-A UMTS
Everything I read and learn in conversation with the wireless industry experts suggest growth and dollar signs over the next 5+ years. It is exciting to be part of the reconstruction of the kind within the industry consists of real people. The best relationships were always mine developed within the telecom vertical.
Telecom, you can talk about us, but you can not talk without us!
