I'm considering a career as a recruitment consultant. Any advice?

I have the experience and qualifications needed to be a recruitment consultant, and an interview coming up tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has had any advice as to whether this is a good move, and what the money/conditions/culture is like. Also would be easy for me to go part-time/freelance a few years down the line, as I moving out of London then and want to have babies!

Answers:
I did the job and there is good and bad to it:
Bad - phone always ringing
horrible people you have to interview
sales calls to companies
when your temps don't turn up at a site
commission!!
very competitive
long hours

Good
get to meet lots of people
commission
going out visiting clients
feeling of satisfaction

I, in all, honesty hated it - but I worked for a small firm who didn't manage their staff very well. Therefore the commission was erratic at best. Probably a lot better within a large organisation.

Good luck in your interview.
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

long hours.promises of bonus's you don't get..LIES LIES LIES all the time
Hard work, long hours your phone never stops, stress stress stress. Money can be good if you are good at it. Basic salary for a trainee would be around 18K, depending on which company you work for and which area. Commission varies greatly with companies and some do not pay commission. It is a very cut throat business however, if your preparedto work your tail off you couldpossibly earn enoughtohelp you move on.
