The fact that I was quality control and the last stop before going to client gave me a sense of responsibility that was hard to get away from.The hardest part and the most frustrating part of the job is when I had to contact the candidate to get some missing information in order for me to complete his CV for client, and not being able to get hold of him for a while or even not at all. That was the most frustrating and something I had to learn to accept.Dealing with people was the most enjoyable part of my job. When it all came together with all the -
Pros
