My first post…..

by adowling on March 17, 2009

Ok, first post….can’t be that hard right, everyone else does it so why can’t I. No, I wouldn’t jump off the bridge with everyone else if they jumped too, I’d post jobs so I could replace them J Yes I’m in HR, no I don’t really care for people. I’m a strong introvert and will sit at the back table without speaking unless I have something meaniful to add. So how did I end up in HR, the people field? It was a good career move. I had the opportunity to move into Accounting but it meant it had to do Payroll, to which vehemently protested. To my amazement, I loved it. All the rules and regulations and new things to learn; I was in heaven. For me, payroll was the gateway drug. From there I moved into benefits and employee retention and recruiting.

I’m a full fledged addict now, no rehab for me, no way no how. I was promoted to HR Manager in May 2007, just a title really; I was more of a HR Generalist. I sat for the PHR in December 2007 and passed, yea me! I’m about to graduate with my associates degree in HRM – it took me awhile to decide what I wanted to do with my life but now that I’m doing it, I’m going all out. I have plans to get my Bachelors after a little break from school. I’m with a new company now as essentially a HR Generalist. I’m learning something new every day and it’s great.

So, this is my attempt at SLOWLY moving into the world of social networking/media. I’m remaining anonymous for now; don’t want to get my little feelings hurt publicly :) My intent is to post my thoughts about what’s going in the HR world and what’s going on in my little corner of the HR world. Please be kind, I will break.
