I had a fantastic chat with the original lady who reached out to me for the position I wished to put aside to pursue a different, more challenging one. She basically asked the questions you would expect when testing the soft skills and personality of a potential applicant. I was delighted to find she did as much research on me as I did her and we went off script for a good 15 minutes. She told me I would hear back from the recruiter that was in charge of the position I was primarily interested in, but we also decided if that didn't work out, I would pursue the position she originally reached out to me regarding. Laura if you read this, no matter what happens to me, Paylocity is VERY lucky to have someone like you in recruiting!
