If you need help finding a job, I can help you find a job. Hi, I’m Jerry Davis, recruiter. I’m a professional headhunter and I enjoy my work. I guess that I’m pretty good at it because I have had so many different jobs in my own life. I started working when I was nine years old, mowing yards and raking leaves in my neighborhood. It was hard, hot work, but it paid me decent summer money. The hardest part was pull-starting those lawnmowers. They definitely were not built with nine-year old boys in mind.
I know how to find a job. When I turned 12, I got a paper route and started throwing newspapers. They came six days a week, and I had one of the largest routes in my hometown. When I got home from school, I rolled newspapers, put them into the big canvas bags and mounted them on my bicycle. Man those bags were heavy. Then I peddled around for two hours and returned home around six PM each evening. On Sundays, the papers arrived around 5 AM and my mom or dad helped me roll them and deliver them. The Sunday papers were huge, so my parents were awesome for helping me. In fact, they were awesome about a lot of things.
When I turned 15, I found a job with a local orthodontist making plaster molds of patients teeth. That was a pretty neat job and it paid better than throwing newspapers. And it was a LOT easier 
When I turned sixteen, I was fortunate to find a job bagging groceries at Safeway, working for Mr. Tom Nixon, one of the hardest bosses I have ever had, and one of the best. He was and is one of my icons, a tremendous human being who helped me learn how to respect myself.
When I graduated from high school I joined the US Army for three years, then got out and started college. I did find a job and worked through college, 35 hours per week the last two years while earning spots on the Deans and Presidents list at Stephen F. Austin State University. And I took 21-24 credit hours per semester while working.
I’ve had a lot of jobs. Too many. And I hate having to go find a job, but in fact I am looking for a job as I write this for you. I quit my job as an engineering recruiter a month ago because the working conditions were absolutely horrible. I felt like a slave oarsman on a slave galley, and my boss was really bad.
I recruited engineers for oil and gas companies, and a LOT of engineers lost their jobs last year. It was the hardest year on record for placing engineers in Houston, but I managed to:
- Make Rookie of the Year
- Earn a plaque for being the top producer in the company for the third trimester of 2009. That was impressive, especially considering it was my first year, my boss was a very abusive person and the bottom fell out of my market the day I walked in the door.
Bottom line here: If you want me to help you find a job, I can help you. I guarantee that I can help you find a job.
