"Personal Recruiting vs. Online Recruiting" at Recent Vector Marketing Corporation Conference

While many companies rely exclusively on online or social recruiting to attract quality workers when they apply for jobs online, one company focuses on doing it the old-fashioned way – through personal recruiting.

That was one of the themes at Vector Marketing Corporation's recent Strategic Leadership Conference in Chicago. Vector Marketing is the single-level direct sales division of Cutco Cutlery Corporation.

Through personal recruiting, Vector Marketing has created a very collaborative culture, one in which young sales people learn a wide range of skills from mentors that will serve them as sales representatives and in other fields. These timeless, marketable life and career skills include:

• Making presentations
• Time management
• Teamwork
• Customer service
• Closing techniques
• Generating sales leads
• Communication
• Marketing

Work Should Be Fun

Networking while in College

You may enjoy your job at McDonald's while in college but what if you could have a job that provides exciting oppertunities to network and replenish your motivation. College is tough and you need to get away. For sales reps with a certain amount in sales Vector Marketing offers a  Development Conference. This gives you a chance to network with like minded individuals and a also some much needed experience in handling events which can give you an edge in the corporate world.

Vector Marketing Offers Professional-Level Work Experience For Students

While working during College it is important to get work experience, your college degree will help you land a job but the market is normally competitive and some experience from a job that requires self motivation could be the difference between you getting a job or the person next to you.



Getting a job at the mall is not normally a flexible job that you may need and with time being the most valuable thing you have making your own hours could help a lot. Malls have started opening during the holidays and do you really want to take time away from your family for a minimum wage job?



Of course the mall is a nice social spot for college students but then when you apply for a job and you list the same type of job as your competition, well you get the idea, you need to set yourself apart from the rest of the candidates.

Movin’ On Up

Everyone starts out as a sales representative. Being a rep is a great opportunity to build your resume and learn sales skills you can take with you anywhere.

But, there can be more to it than that: we also provide opportunities for our sales reps to advance into management roles because we believe in promoting from within.

The best part?

These positions can be held around school and other responsibilities. In fact, many of our managers started out as a sales rep in college, continued their education and decided to turn Vector into their full-time career after graduation.
