-: I know that a lot of schools offer
Human Resources, as degrees.
That would be probably the most logical.
My background actually was,
my degree's in Sports Administration,
I had a minor in Business,
so obviously the Business side of things
is what I've leaned on throughout my career.
I started on my career off in Sales.
I had a couple of different Sales jobs
before I got into Recruiting.
But once I got in Recruiting,
I really kind of felt like I had found my niche there.
So that was my path.
If you can find a Human Resources internship,
that would be awesome because HR obviously
gets exposed to every area of the business
and I think that's what's made me a little bit successful,
is having some insights into a variety of businesses
and then the different areas of those businesses
and it really helps me identify the right
type of talent for those roles.
So, I think just getting that exposure to one,
either Human Resources,
or from an overall Business perspective,
understanding the overall operations of the business,
would certainly help and give you some good perspective
into how company's hire and the type of talent
they look for, for different parts of the business.
Just knowing somebody's worked really hard,
I think that stands out almost more than anything,
just because everybody loves to hire people
that are gonna come in and put in the time,
put in the effort, and get the job done.
So I think the things that I try to look for in those are,
I ask people, when they were in school,
what did they do outside of the classroom?
What were they involved in?
And seeing people that were involved in a lot of things,
those folks tend to have really good work ethics
and time management skills, things like that,
so I would say just being involved in a lot,
whether you're working a job during school
or you're in athletics, or extra curriculars,
anything you can do to
juggle multiple things, is very important.
And again, I think it teaches good time management skills
and great work ethic.
