bored



I have been working as a recruiter/sales for the last 13 years and I constantly have to sell myself to prospects.  In reality, I look for work every day.  I have much to give to the people who are not familiar with the process and help them to increase their confident.

I feel like i am being micro managed to death.  I have to report every conversation in detail to my manager.  she will evaluate the conversation and asked me more information.  then she will criticise on what I should have asked.  She wants me to do things her way but she doesn't want to do it herself.
Another micro managing aspect.  She will tell us how to do things and I can only agree with her.  If I disagree, she will start defending her way of doing things, and how every one in the industry is doing it.  She doesn't want to see things my way, only her way.
She doesn't have lots of experience and yet she will tell us what to do.
I don't have decision making ability.  She wants to know about every candidate before submission for my clients' review.  She wants to know why They are qualified and will criticise my choice every time.  Not to the point of putting me know, but taking my confident away from me.  If the person is temp, she will ask whether they are going to go to work.  She doesn't trust my judgement as every job I am working only on her behalf.  She needs to review every email that I am sending to a client.  I will need to write it out, print it out and leave in on her desk for approval before sending it off.  She will change it around.  I have to retype it for her approval again before sending it off.  takes too much time.
Also, there is no trust really.  When I get an email from the client, I need to forward her a copy as well.
