>> Definitely networking, getting into the association SHRM the Association
of Human Resources Management, the local chapter
so like there's LSHRM which is the Lancaster chapter.
There are various other LinkedIn groups that you can get in, getting advice from people
that have been in the field for a while.
I actually have a mentor that's in Seattle that I met through LinkedIn
and he's helping me learn the management side of HR so definitely networking is key
which everyone hears all the time but it really is key.
Staying close with your alumni and not being afraid that if you're degree isn't what you want
to go into not being afraid that there's transferrable skills.
I graduated speech communication and public relations and if you look
from a resume standpoint that's really not transferrable but there are
so many transferrable skills, you know talking to people,
managing the perception which is a lot of PR.
The same can be said for like psychology.
Dealing with people is a lot of HR stuff so think about your degree.
If it's not HR then think about the transferrable skills and be ready
to say why your degree would be transferrable.
