I'm applying for an AGR Recruiting and Retention job, does any one have any good advice should I get an interview?

Good luck. I was in R&R for a while in a ADSW status. I was boarded for an AGR slot and got it. I ended up turning it down to commission instead. But I would say that you have to know your targets. You have to be willing to move and jump through any hoop. I would get with any command memo's or any other guidance on any R&R programs. The more you know going in the more it shows you are willing to learn. I you know a recruiter learn what all the RE codes on a 214 mean. Learn the current needs list for your state. Learn all the state benefits that the Guard offers. If you do that you should have a good start.

Get a psych Evaluation. If you fail it, you just might fit in! Lol, the best part of being a recruiter is that they've already done the worst thing they could do to you! Really, I think that recruiting is an incredibly satisfying job. The keys to being a successful recruiter are flexibility, adaptability, and a desire to connect with everybody you meet/see. Next to being a line medic, it's the most personally rewarding job I've had in the military!

Familarize yourself with AR 601-210 chapters 2-3 and the NG AOC (google: army national guard accession options criteria). Be confident. Successful recruiters almost always share some key attributes: confidence, outgoing "type A" personality, a willingingness to work your ass off, and persistance. Try to identify some past duties, assignments, training etc. that you've had that demonstrate you possess the afromentioned qaulities.

Understand the recruiting is a very challeneging job, and be prepared to experience failure, especially at first. Also be prepared to work ridiculous hours for your first year until you get established.
