The days goes on. Not all of the students have yet done the Army Interview. I mean, hell, you have to consider the fact that each interview is suppose to last anywhere from forty-five minutes to an hour. On average this maybe true. We should be getting close to done by the end of today. I think there is going to be about 10 people left which brings us a little under half way from completing one round.
Yup, this includes me. I’m not going to lie to yas. I am a scared little girl when it comes to this. I have this thing about talking in front of a class of people. You know how you get that feeling that somebody is watching you. You may not know who it is, but you have this pressurized feeling that there are eyeballs locked in on you. I hate this feeling. Well, it is definite that I am going to be getting in front of the class tomorrow. Let the records show that I hate the idea, but, as a class requirement, ye shall go up front’eth.
Summarizing the day, we learned, from everybody else, the Army Interview. Very easy day. I think the hardest thing was keeping the good ole eyelids open and getting your research done.
Wait a minute. It has just hit me! I never explained to you what research means. Very simple. When you are speaking to a lead on the phone (remember a lead is somebody you made initial contact with over the phone or face to face), you are getting some information from them. Information meaning where they may want to go to school and what their passion is. Once you get this information, before conducting the Army Interview, you need to look up what it costs to achieve the individual’s goals. For example, follow along with this scenario:
Excerpt of conversation started:
Recruiter: So Johnny, I understand that you are a senior in Rockford High School and you want to attend college upon graduation. Is this correct?
Johnny: Sure is. I want to become a chef somewhere.
Recruiter: A chef! That’s great! What made you think about becoming a chef?
Johnny: My father and grandfather were both chefs at a four and 5 star hotel chain in Las Vegas, NV.
Recruiter: That’s great Johnny. Okay. You want to be a five star chef like your father and grandfather. You want to continue the family tradition!
Johnny: That’s correct.
Excerpt of conversation terminated
As you see above, the recruiter now has to go and do the research. The recruiter finds that going to a culinary arts college which could cost sixty-two thousand dollars. This is for a bachelor’s degree plan. Going though this college for four years and getting trained on how to be the best. The recruiter actually has a lot of responsibility to this young Lead, or also known as Johnny.
That summarizes all the good stuff, until next time folks, this is Warrior Roberts reporting.
