Navy recruiters are experienced sailors who recruit men and women for the Navy. They answer questions, provide information about benefits, attend events, and conduct interviews. They also keep files on their contacts and administrative duties.
A Navy recruiter helps the Navy meet its personnel needs by recruiting men and women who would be good candidates for Navy service. Recruiters are experienced sailors who sell the Navy to people interested in military service in order to get potential recruits excited about joining the military. This job can be extremely demanding. Far from an office job, naval recruiting requires long days, odd hours and lots of field time to connect with potential recruits.
To become a Navy recruiter, it is usually necessary to have at least one term of service in the Navy. The Navy wants people who serve as recruiters to be able to answer questions honestly. Additionally, people who have served are generally more excited about opportunities in the Navy and can provide recruits with knowledge that comes from first-hand experiences. When a sailor is selected to become a Navy recruiter, specialized training is provided and the recruiter is sent to a recruiting station.
Navy recruiters spend a great deal of their time cultivating contacts. They are active in their communities to interact with potential recruits, service organizations and other people who can be helpful when it comes to finding potential recruits. They attend job fairs to provide information about the Navy, hand out business cards, make house calls, and make themselves as available as possible to people with questions. A Navy recruiter can also get involved in sponsoring events in the community to promote good public relations.
Someone who works as a Navy recruiter provides answers to questions from potential recruits and also provides people with information about the benefits available in the Navy. These benefits include valuable professional training that can be used in the civilian world after completing a term of service, the opportunity for the Navy to pay for college, excellent health services, and other professional benefits such as housing. People usually have a lot of questions about marine service and the recruiter can handle a wide range of queries to make people feel at ease.
Recruiters can spend months working with potential recruits, following up on an initial contact and encouraging the recruiter to join. They also help recruits prepare for the tests that are administered to people who want to join the Navy and provide encouragement and advice as they adapt physically. A Navy recruiter can also provide people with information about the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) and Navy Reserves, and conducts interviews with potential recruits to determine their suitability for Navy service.
Navy recruiter job also includes administrative duties. Recruiters keep files on their contacts with detailed information about interactions, including files on recruits who successfully entered the Navy.
