When I was teaching, I was on 100% of the time. I did have a lunch break, but by the time I got the kids to where they needed to be, took care of phone calls, and discussed various work things with other teachers I had about 10 minutes or so to eat. There were some days when I would be caught up on paperwork and I got to goof around during the kid's gym or art, but typically that didn't happen.
As a recruiter, I'd say I'm mostly working. I have a lot of things to get done and typically have to work over to meet quotas. When I'm at my desk, I'm looking for resumes on-line, calling people to phone screen them, formatting resumes, calling candidates to prep them for an interview, and/or calling the client to try to get the candidate an interview. When I get a person in from the phone screening, I interview them which takes about 45 minutes. I do have some times in between where I can have a smoke or go to the bathroom. I pretty much make my own schedule and have quotas to meet. And hopefully today, I will have time to eat lunch...I forgot about that meal yesterday.
Later on, my job will get even crazier because I'll also be dealing business-to-business attempting to contract them so that I can work to fill their positions. Then I'll be even busier, but making a lot more money.
But I will say that there are different types of busy. Teaching was a lot more hectic busy, where recruiting is a lot more deadline busy. I prefer the deadline busy because the hectic busy made me want to scream on many occasions. Deadline busy just makes me bust my ass to get work done.
