DoW Skillbridge Intern

Job Description

**THIS OPPORTUNITY IS EXCLUSIVELY FOR ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY SERVICE MEMBERS**

100% Remote | Nationwide | Military Transition Opportunity

Ever Wondered If You Have a Salesperson Hiding Inside You?

Maybe you've always been the person who can win people over, build relationships, negotiate a deal, or influence an outcome. Maybe you're competitive, driven, and love the satisfaction of achieving a goal. And maybe you've wondered what it would be like to have a career where your earning potential isn't dictated by your rank, time in service, or years on the job.

Welcome to executive recruiting. This is a potentially lucrative, performance-driven career for people who are willing to put in the work, take ownership of their success, and develop the skills to build their own book of business.

You don't need sales experience. You need the drive to discover whether you've got what it takes.

We'll teach you the recruiting business, introduce you to consultative selling, and give you the tools and mentorship to explore a career where your ability to build relationships, influence decisions, and deliver results can directly impact your earning potential. If you've got an entrepreneurial streak, a competitive spirit, and the desire to take control of your financial future, this might just be your next mission.

Your next mission starts before your military service ends.

At Red Kite Recruiting, we believe the leadership, communication, problem-solving, and mission-driven mindset you developed in uniform can become the foundation for a successful career in executive recruiting.

As a woman- and Marine Corps veteran-owned executive search firm, we understand that transitioning from military to civilian life is more than changing jobs. It's about finding your next purpose.

Through the DoW SkillBridge program , we're offering eligible transitioning service members the opportunity to gain hands-on experience, receive professional training, and explore a potentially lucrative career in executive recruiting.
