What advice would you give to a student who wanted to follow in your footsteps

You will be far more successful as a recruiter the more you know about the field you are recruiting for. Specialists that have an interest and seek understanding of a specific field gain much more credibility with clients and candidates than a generalist that only has a surface understanding of positions they are working on.
