“I believe that recruiting is a noble endeavor . . . we serve as ambassadors . . . we are the first line of contact . . . we are in a position to help people. How many occupations provide such opportunity? I do not profess to know the meaning of life, but I believe that helping others comes pretty close.” —Hector
