Interview with Ashton Wood:

Q: How did you become a recruiter?
A: After five years of a technology sales career, I was approached by a long-time customer who offered me an opportunity to make a more significant impact with my work. Later that year, I resigned from my sales role and started tech recruiting.

Q: Tips for a fresh grad’s first job hunt?
A: Start your career in sales. You will be better at everything else you do because you started in sales.

Q: Tip to someone nervous about leaving their current employer/job?
A: Your employer is unlikely to be nervous about letting you go should the situation call for it. You should feel the same. If you have a better opportunity that you firmly believe is a good move - make the move and never look back.

Q: Advice for someone’s first day at a new job/workplace?
A: Introduce yourself to everyone you see. First days are always nerve-wracking, don't let your nerves get in the way of building relationships. Do it nervous.
