-: Start taking HR classes.
HR is a heavily regulated industry, there's a lot of laws
and rules and things you can and can't do in the HR field.
So start taking those HR classes, 'cause that's gonna
really start preparing you for the regulatory side of it.
Also start talking with people, networking with people.
Not only is that gonna help you build a network
that's gonna help you make it easier for you to find a job,
but recruitment is people, it's a people industry.
You really need to be able to work with people
and talk with people and read people
and really find out how they tick.
And how you're gonna get better about that,
is just talk to with people.
And it doesn't have to be anybody that's on a job,
or anything like that, you could just pull your friend
that you maybe not know as well, like,
"hey, let's go grab some coffee", just talk with them.
So just really building those people skills,
and organization skills is really, really important too.
So, really nailing those down,
attention to detail is also huge too.
So organization, attention to detail, people.
Yeah, organization, attention to detail, and people.
For an HR specialist such as myself,
a good thing on the resume would be that you've proven
that you really know how to kinda put the pieces together.
'Cause that's really what it is.
What kind of position have you done where you really
need to take A, or you're trying to find a solution
for thing A, and then you're looking at B-C-D-E-F-G,
whatever, however many those there,
and then you're picking that best one to put into A.
And preferably with people, obviously,
that'd be a lot better (laughs).
And then if you don't have an internship
or the job experience, you know, job shadowing;
really just try to get out in the field,
so that you kind of understand what's going on.
And then you can highlight those experiences in your resume,
in your phone screens, in your interviews, things like that.
Really push that, "hey, I have this experience,
"I can do this job for you".
And really just kinda push those experiences, so...
