-: So, my guidance, if somebody wanted to go into recruitment
or into human resources would be to start on college campus.
Really get involved in leadership roles,
recruitment, things of that nature.
Any sort of growth, if there's a call center,
any part time jobs or side positions
but it definitely starts in college.
And then, I think recruitment is a great position to be in
as a gateway to get into Human Resources.
Coordinating positions, generalist positions.
Anything where you can touch
all the functions of Human Resources
it's key, and I think it starts on college campus.
I actually majored in Organizational Communications.
Which, I knew that I could use that major
in business or sales or recruitment or theater
or writing or whatever I wanted to do with that major.
But again, Human Resources might have been an emphasis
but it wasn't a major.
And so, if you really wanted to go into Human Resources
I do believe at this point there are some courses
that specifically do focus on Human Resources,
but I think it's probably in the business element.
And then that communications major
will help you do the writing, the resumes,
doing a lot of those things
which, in turn, will train you to tweak a resume,
to know what you're looking for and to be able to
scan that in, you know, one or two minutes.
So, as far as in Human Resources,
a big thing, too, is learning.
And you all know it ties in to the wants-it.
And if you want it, you're gonna continue to learn
you're gonna continue to work on your trade.
So many times you will see me at, you know,
national Human Resources conferences.
I do read the trade magazines.
SHRM brings out magazines.
Podcasts are huge.
Webinars are huge.
And then, you know, on the job training.
And so, again, yes, continue to learn.
Continue to wants it.
And at that point, sometimes it will be uncomfortable.
But that is gonna tell you
that you're doing the right things.
