From senior management to sales.

Well, why are you 'downshifting'?
Tell them that you want more time with your family at home, or that you have to help take care of your elderly parents, or that you just don't want the pressure of management anymore, etc.
Good Luck!

Hi Jack, I'm a recruiter myself, and I would ask you the same question. The client would ask me the same question of you so I need to know the answer, and if you were taking directly to the hiring manager, he/she would ask you the question, as well. Anytime someone decides to shift, it doesn't matter "why", but it does matter that you know why. Does that make sense? Let's say you were the Director of Sales of a company were you were managing 7 sales people. Your job is a hard one because you have not only "your" goals, but you have to manage their goals, as well. You have to put in a lot of time - let's say that you work 70 hrs a week... you may not be happy and want more "time" with your family. This would be a great reaon if you went after a Sr. Sales position where you would earn "almost" as much money but would have to be responsible for yourself. You could position this to a recruiter (or hiring manager) that you love sales - you miss the thrill of the sale, and you want back into it as overall it would greatly contribute to quality of life (life balance), and you know that you would be able to eventually superexceed your Sr. Management compensation. Hope this helps!
