Hi everyone 🙋🏻♀️ I’ve just posted a new video for those wanting to learn more about the HR Coordinator (entry level) role. Check it out on my channel 😊
Thank you so much for making this video! I am studying Business Management with a Concentration in HR! I realized there are not that many RUclipsrs that talk about HR. I found less than 10 people, and I am so glad I came across this channel. I need as much insight, details, journey videos as much I can receive lol! Please make more HR videos! :)
Thanks Mickie! Hope you're subscribing - I'll definitely be doing more vids in coming weeks. It's a very rewarding industry if you can balance the needs of business/employees, and understanding your self (eg. where are you willing to draw the line?) Curious - where are you watching from? I'm in Australia!

SUPER helpful. I’m currently working for a small-mid size staffing agency as an HR Generalist / Compliance Administrator. I do a lot of background checks, compliance clearance, on boarding and off boarding, and a lot of stuff to do with visas. I like it but I’m basically the only person in the department, and it’s a ton of work. There’s a lot of autonomy like you said, but there’s a ton of responsibility and you’re pretty alone in the situation and there aren’t a lot of people to turn to for help or advice. I wish we had more people on the team, it would be a lot better.
Thanks so much for popping by! Yep it can be a lot of admin 😅 My advice would be to build a business case for a part-time support, or build capability in your line managers so they can take on some of those people-management responsibilities. For example, I’ve previously asked hiring managers to compile compliance documents for their hires, so that it’s one less administrative thing I have to do in chasing up information. It depends on your org though of course. Hang in there 😊
Thanks so much for such an informative video on the HR industry! I used to work at DJs on the selling floor, I have now graduated my Bachelor of Commerce (with a HR focus) and currently working in the HR field within the retail industry and really enjoying it :)
As an executive assistant who is used to handling everything administrative, I feel so seen by the executive assistants identifying as HR managers call-out! That said, I have found it's my favorite aspect of the job- I love the mix of humanness and practicality and think I might go back to school to specialize!
Sayre Wilkin I’m glad you stopped by, Sayre! You should definitely go and study, if you enjoy those aspects in your current role, you may find you enjoy other facets of HR (leadership, development, business partnering) too. 😊
Yasss finally I am seeing a lot of content creators sharing stuff about HR. I am a second year college student studying Business Administration Major in Human Resource Management. I am worried what to expect in the real business world since I know it will be a different experience and view when working in HR. I assumed there are a lot of pressure as an HR staff or manager as you are like the bridge between the top management and employees. In addition from that, the responsibilities and duties of being an HR. It made me terrified to think about it, which is why I am thankful for content creators like you who share your experiences and knowledge about working in HR. Thank you so much for this!
Wow, very informative, and you are very well spoken. I am in school right now to get my bachelor's in business admin. with a concentration in HR. Then, I plan on getting my master's degree in HR. Thank you for the video!
That’s great Sarah, glad you enjoyed. I recommend getting a few years of work experience under your belt, applying HR principles, before jumping into your masters. That’s just my take on getting the most value out of postgrad studies! Good luck 😊
this is a helpful video! i am going into my second year of psychology next year (in new zealand) and i was unsure about what i may do once i have completed my degree but this video has confirmed it for me. i am hoping with the undergraduate i can build up my experience slowly to get into the HR field
That’s so great! Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve got lots more on the HR field. One video you might find helpful is one I did on the HR Coordinator role - depending on where you are in your career x
Hey Anne! I'm coming out of my last semester of my HRM degree in Australia and this was a really great video. Especially the points on small businesses vs larger ones. really going to help me in the next few months! Thanks so much
Woo! Not many Aussies in the comments. Glad it helped out ☺️ I’ve just posted another video on the HR Coordinator role which is typically entry-level. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your experiences and views about the world of HR. I very much appreciate it and may go towards the same path of studying this line of work. You also seem like such a strong business woman that I admire! You're also very pretty!! :) I hope you're staying safe and healthy during this crazy time too
Great video! I am a HR masters student, about to start a HR internship. I found your advice really helpful, I would love to become a HR business partner one day. I started a channel too based on my HR student experience so far and hope to expand my knowledge further so I can speak about it in depth like yourself.
Alisha Parchment hi Alisha, this is so great! I’m glad you’re about to embark on your internship - you’ll learn so much. Don’t forget to subscribe for more HR related content 😊
Very informative video. I am considering starting a generalist certificate in HR as a second career, and found your video to be incredibly honest and helpful. Thank you for sharing your advice and experience.
I’m a nail tech currently. But I’ve work retail for years before. I’m good with people. But I love my job but I want something more stable. Planning on doing nails as a side hustle.
I work in the trades but have always had an interest in psychology and helping people. Do you think it's possible to transition to an HR career? I am looking at community college certificate programs in Canada. Would that be enough to get an entry level position?
@@Shannon_Robbie that’s great! Coming with existing work experience is always beneficial. A certificate is a solid starting point, but it depends on the employer and their entry criteria. If it gives you the foundational, theoretical knowledge, and a taste of what to expect, either way - it will inform you of whether or not you would like to pursue HR, so win win!
What are your working hours and days like? Is it Mon to Fri? Do you have to bring work home sometimes? Are you able to enjoy life away from work ?like is there work life balance
Great question! A lot of this is covered in the video. Most HR roles are Monday to Friday, with some evening or weekend work depending on the operational requirements of the business. I often take my work home but I am definitely able to enjoy life away from work. HR are really champions for work life balance and integration, so I’ve been fortunate in Australia that the HR departments I’ve worked in have encouraged a healthy relationship with work.
@@annefloreskepu thank you for your response can I also ask, alot of people say hr is not for the faint of heart, because you deal with alot as you mentioned personal problems of the employees like health and family death and etc. I come from a back ground of studying dental hygiene and I'm looking to change careers into hr because I've seen the career variety in HR and helping people and grow in their workplace and also hoping to experience personal growth as well. The current job I have now is way to repetitive, cleaning teeth in a hunch over position,( I don't mean to be negative )but on the other hand I've been getting excited listen to hr pros talk about the different roles and types of companies they work for and it seems so interesting and there's so much more to learn and do. So when they say it's not for the faint of heart how do I know if I'm someone that's able to deal with all this?
@@landofmilkchillies5832 I think the best way is to understand yourself and your own boundaries/limitations. What drains you, excites you, gives you energy etc. If you’re a sociable person and enjoy talking to others, or like work with complex problems, then maybe you’ll be better equipped than most to work within HR. Good luck!
Great Video Anne! I’m trying to decide what to do next for my career. I have a degree in Business Management, and I’m thinking about going back to school to study HR. The truth is, I don’t want to do anything customer service related, and it seems to me like HR is more of an internal strategic role. There are definitely some challenges like you described; but I think it’s something that I could be really good at. What would you say an entry level HR role would be like?
DrumKiller2 heya! I’m sorry I didn’t see this earlier. First off, good for you for recognising what you enjoy/dislike in a role. Whilst HR is an internal role, you’ll still have a client group to serve - it’s a support function all about serving others 😅 That being said, it’s a very different kind of client. Entry level HR roles are usually Administrator/Coordinator roles that involve quite a bit of data processing, assisting with projects and reporting, and answering first-level queries (eg. Can I have a copy of my contract?). It’s very rewarding and in most businesses, you will get to work across a broad range of functions so you get exposure to IT/Finance/Marketing etc. From there it’s about absorbing all the information you can to get better at risk management, interpreting legislation, and understanding stakeholder engagement. Hope that helps! It’s probably a better I do a video on it as it’s such a big question 😅😊
@@annefloreskepu Hi Anne! Just wanted to give you an update since it's been about a year and a half since I saw your video. I'm happy to say that I'm now working as an HR Associate at really big financial firm! I work for the Talent Acquisition Operations team. I gotta say, this is a such an interesting and fun role. I get to interact with candidates as they go through the background check, senior level management, third party vendors, and my team of course. Every day is different, and there is always something new happening. Watching your video really helped me gain a sense of the direction that I wanted to go, and I'm so glad to be on this path. Thanks so much :)
@@DrumKiller2 this makes me so happy to hear! That’s amazing you’ve found a great role you’re enjoying. I’m glad I got to share my experience and that positively impacted - even just a little! Well done and stay in touch 😊
Thank you for the insight! As others said there aren't many videos about HR so glad I found this one. A couple questions- What kind of issues arise on the daily that can be frustrating outside of employee issues? How often during your experiences have issues with employees came up?
Hi Vincent, thanks for stopping by and really good questions. 1) Common problems that arise on a daily basis are those that are experienced by most other departments Eg. Resourcing, budgets, pressure from the executive etc. 2) In a retail/service environment, employee issues would come up weekly. In a professional services environment (engineering) maybe once a month. It really depends on the culture of the organisation.
Great video. I'm currently deciding between HR and L&D but i think from what you said about starting in a general HR role then deciding on a sub set might be a good idea.
Hi Anne, how did you get an HR position at 19? I'm a 3rd year psychology major and have been applying to internships in HR but haven't heard back from any yet. I have a lot of work experience but nothing specifically in HR. Do you have any recommendations for how to get an HR internship without prior direct work experience in HR?
Heya! I have a video on how I got into HR. I was fortunate to work for a company that needed this support and grew into the role. I recommend reaching out to your university also for intern programs!
Hey Anne, Im looking to go into HR after I finish my Psychology degree. I chose not to go into an HR program directly as I didn't want to deal with accounting and numbers. I feel like Psychology pairs in well with the HR field because of the fact that its about motivating people to work their best. Do you personally thing that a psychology degree would pair in well with an HR job?
Hi there! I am currently a nurse. I graduated with a Nursing Degree, but I was hoping to pivot to an HR position. Do you have any recommendations on how to transition?
Heya! Your study pathway is quite different to the skill set required for HR. Do you have working experience in the HR space? I recommend completing a few elective courses/units in HR to see if you like it, before making any decisions. Recommendations would be to align your studies to the career you’re after, especially if it requires specific skills. If you have access to a careers counsellor or any HR professionals on campus, it’s worth reaching out to them to share their experience/views. Good luck!
I am currently studying Behavioral Sciences (which includes Psychology, Anthropology, and Sociology). Our curriculum states that our degree can be a good path for the Industry (HR and OD). Do you think a Behavioral Sciences graduate could easily get an entry level job in the HR field? Also, how does the ladder in HR work (the entry level where you should apply for first before stepping up to the sub levels where you could specialize)?
Hi Stephanie, first off - OMG I cannot believe I didn’t see this message from one year ago. I usually reply to every comment so this just slipped through the cracks, my apologies. To answer your question (I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, but for anyone else reading): - Many HR professionals have a behavioural sciences background, and many psychologists have a HR background funnily enough. The work is so closely tied to human behaviour and theories of motivation that they are very complimentary and it’s easy to get an HR entry role from a psych degree. - HR ladders usually look like this, HR; admin, coordinator, advisor, officer, business partner/manager, Head of, Director/Chief of - the ladder above can be applied to any specialisation. For example, L&D Coordinator, OD Business Partner, Remuneration and Benefits Advisor Sorry again that this has come a year late - I hope you’ve done well in your studies and enjoying it!
I study a banchelor degree in HR but I have some doubs, because people inform and discourage me because the salariess are less , thd hiring process are through friends and relatives and it it hard to work with people. I am descouraged now and what to do you think?
Hi Andreea, sorry to hear you’re discouraged! I can’t speak for other countries, but in Australia the salary for HR professionals is actually quite competitive alongside marketing professionals and other support services. Unfortunately there is bias all over the place when it comes to recruitment, you can only hope that you apply to businesses that have good recruitment practises. My Personal opinion, working in HR can be emotionally exhausting and you really have to enjoy what you do. If you are chasing a salary, HR is still a good career, but if it’s your only priority, you might want to research high-paying jobs in your country and do something related to HR. For example, HR in the mining and technology industries pay very well.
Hi Racheal, thanks for stopping by. HR in healthcare comes with a lot of risk and reward. For example, the risk that HR is managing in certain industries such as healthcare, construction, law etc are of greater complication than industries that may not have such liability - Eg retail. Then again, the reward you receive for supporting healthcare professionals may be deeply satisfying as you’re “helping the people who help people.” Hope that makes sense!? For any HR person, I strongly recommend you value your own time and self care, as being there for others is emotionally taxing.
Oh sorry Myrna, I didn’t see this comment. A few of my favourite reads: - Dealing with the Tough Stuff, Alison Hill - Non violent communication, Rosenberg - Roxy’s Little Black Book of Tips & Tricks, Roxy Jacenko (not HR related, but 100% relevant to business)
This would be a little tough as my only experience is with Griffith University! They have a fantastic business program and I really enjoyed my time there.
Hi there, I’ve posted a new video on my learnings throughout 2023 as a senior HR manager. You might find this useful! Check out my channel for the upload. Have a fab holiday season 🎄
Hello, i really love your video, it helps me a lot❤️ But by the way, do you need to do much of mathematics, business caculus or finance while you study and work?
Thuy Anh Tran Hi, thanks for stopping by 😊 I guess that really depends on what you’re studying. Eg a business degree will usually require you to do economics, finance and accounting as core subjects. In the workplace (relating to HR) there’s a lot of calculation relating to contracts and remuneration reviews, but nothing an excel spreadsheet can’t help you with 😊
I’m starting a job as an HR Business Partner, $100k. How long would it take to get to $150k-$175k do you think? And at what level would I need to be at?
This is really dependent on your skill level and ability to influence change. At $150k you’re looking at a mid-senior HR Manager with people management responsibilities. If you’re not already leading a team, I recommend looking for opportunities to do this, and brushing up on your business acumen.

Head over to my video “Life as an HR Coordinator” for my early experience 😊 Administrator is the level before Coordinator, but a lot of the duties cross over.
Hello! I am a freshman in college and I am trying to figure out which degree to major in that could be a great fit for human resources but also good for other branches of business if it turns out down the line I think a different career would be a better fit? Any suggestions?
Hi! Can you tell me which degree is best to become a HR? I'm going to complete my school and I don't know which bachelors to take. I'm thinking of Psychology or Business management, honestly I'm more interested in Psychology, do you think I can get a job in HR with Psych degree? Or should I take anything else?
A lot of people study psychology and find work in HR! There are many crossover principles. That being said, you should always take the path you’re more interested in - it’ll make it easier for you when times get tough, like juggling work and exams etc :)
Do you know if having an HR development degree instead of an HR management degree makes a difference in getting a job as an HR specialist? I also like collaborating in groups, would you say HR is really independent? Thanks!
I’d say it doesn’t make a major difference, unless you are wanting to go into something like HR systems for example - then technology and HR analytics will be more useful to you. I think what’s more important is choosing the right grad job/work experience 😊 Independence in HR really depends on the organisation. In bigger companies you’ll get lots of opportunity for collaboration but in small businesses (say less than 200 employees) you’ll largely have to work autonomously.
Doing my masters in HR, coming from the Mental Health. If anyone is willing to connect please let me know. Much appreciated. I really want to enter this field with as much knowledge as possible. Thank you!!
Hii, i'm currently a high school student, about to give the finals after few months...So should be going to an uni from September- There's this dual course available in one of the uni's here, BBA in digital marketing & HR management. Soo, what do u think of this combination? And will it be easy to get internships here and there? 😕 Oh one more question, can you just briefly describe what all might be taught during the uni course..like the study pattern, will it be hard? (Hope it's nothing about memorising, but understanding 🙃) Waiting for responseee~
Hi Abida - that’s exciting! 1) Yes - great combination. I think both will offer a variety of internship options on their own, but combined you make for an interesting intern. Will it be easy? Probably not unless you apply yourself! Get networking and build a base of HR professionals who might be able to support you in your second/third year. 2) I have a video of what I actually studied at University - feel free to check it out on the channel 😊
This is very dependant on country, city and industry. Highly recommend you use payscale.com or Glassdoor to find out what’s local to you. In Australia, a junior position could start anywhere between $55-70k
I actually didn’t know what major and so I went to a career counselor and HR Tech, HR Generalist appeared. I know there are different sections in HR, my question is does someone who work in HR do everything from recruiting to worker relation or is it just certain thing like you do one thing like recruiting and there’s another HR thy does compensation and stuff? Idk if HR is for me, I just went with it because of my career counselor results and also I’m about to graduate next year, and honestly even now I still don’t know if it’s right, I just don’t wanna drop everything and start 4 years again!
ronaldo65ful Hi Ronaldo, well done on trying something new. Stick with your program, you’re so close! To answer your question - I do talk about generalist vs specialist HR in the video. You can also find more information on my blog at www.aep-consulting.com
Thanks for the video, Is it possible for HR to become a strategic & business partner in firms rather than being a mere support function? Also can HR become CEO?
HR is an exceptionally strategic role, just because it’s a support function doesn’t mean it’s not important. Accounting, finance and marketing are also support functions - but they’re strategic in nature too. And yes absolutely - lots of HR practitioners go on to be CEO’s!
Hi there - do you have any other qualifications relating to HR? Unfortunately finance principles are quite different to Human Resources. I recommend you try to get some internships or apply for HR coordinator levels to get your foot in the door. Good luck!
Hi Anne, you are doing a great job! Please can you suggest ways to immigrate to Australia? I have 8 years of experience working as HR professional and I am an Indian expat in Dubai. Is HR in demand occupation in Australia for outsiders? Will appreciate your help. 🙏
Hi Reema, lovely to hear from you. Unfortunately I don’t have any expertise in immigration to Australia, but I can say that yes - HR is definitely in demand in Australia for people with all varied experience!
hey! i am currently in 12th and want to go canada and planning to do psychology bachelors because of communication and all i have interst in buisness too but how can i do both and how much money does hr manager get and opportunities and kind of degree and what the syllabus are
Hi there - that sounds like a good plan of attack if you're interested in those subjects. You need a Bachelor of Business with an HRM focus or psychology degree (usually) to secure an HRM role. An HR Manager carries more and more risk, so the salary can be quite good, depending on your skill set. The average HR manager for a medium sized business can earn anywhere from $120-$150k AUD. This of course is a generalisation, and you should do your own research in your local area. That being said, HR is incredibly hard work. If you're in it for the money, this is probably not the right career path for you.
This was so inspiring. I feel very stuck in life right now. School is very different here in the Netherlands but I got a degree in managing when I was 19. I have worked in 3 different stores in different functions, currently I work at a bakery. I want to do more with my life and I'm thinking of going back to school and studying for HR. I will be 25 when I am done if all goes well. I'm just scared I will be 'too old' to be a starter in hr. Also I'm a very insecure person and I'm scared I'm not capable enough for working in HR as I can be shy, but I am empathetic, I am a good listener, work really hard an learn well. I guess I am just scared to go for it, because it has been pretty safe in my comfort zone😅
Oh Jamie, stop! You’re gonna make me cry. This such a nice comment and thank you for sharing. I’m telling you now - the world needs more empathetic people in business!!! You’re never too old to start something new - I’ve started learning how to paint and I’m nearly 30. Connect with me on IG and keep in touch @aep.consulting. I want to know how you’re going and cheer you on!!! 🥳
Hello! I just wanted to chime in and say that 25 is absolutely not old to enter another career (not 25, not 26, not 28 etc). Don’t underestimate the work experience and skills you have already built with your previous jobs, no matter how unrelated it seems. Please go for it and do not limit yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror, look at yourself in the eyes, and encourage that beautiful and capable individual staring at you. I know it’s easier said, but life’s too short, so live it the best you can ☺️. If you can go back to school, do it so that when the opportunity comes, you will be prepared. Wishing you much success!
Hi Anne, do you live in Canada? I am actually planning to move to Canada and I am with 8 years of experience in US Recruitment. Please let me know if there is good number of opportunities in Canada for recruitment. Please reply.
Hi Cassie, if you watch the whole video I talk through differences between generalist and specialist HR. You can read more about it over at our blog too www.aep-consulting.com / @aep-consulting I suggest starting on the generalist path (doing a bit of everything in HR) so you can get a taste for what you prefer :)
Hey Cassie - just checking back in to let you know I’ve uploaded a video dedicated to L&D. It might help you better understand the nuances of a specialist role vs generalist. Have a great day 😊
Anne Flores - HR Gal okay but how about if you did just straight up business management , would that mean you have to do HR after or is that relevant for you just to go into HR with that ?
Catch me in real life Catch me in real life You could potentially secure an entry level role if you have any transferable/related work experience, for example if you managed a team in another field. In my personal experience though, all entry level HR roles require an HR/psych degree or diploma
Sorry didn’t see this - I have my CPHR which is the Australian CIPD equivalent. I definitely recommend going down that path a few years into an HR role, because a lot of the coursework is applied. This means you actually need to know what you’re doing to make use of the course and apply it to your workplace 😂 It will likely confuse you and add unnecessary stress in your early years
Hi there, I’ve posted a new video on my learnings throughout 2023 as a senior HR manager. You might find this useful! Check out my channel for the upload. Have a fab holiday season 🎄
hello, thank you so much for making this video! i'm curious when you say you first fired a worker at the age of 19. if i may ask, how can you work at a very young age? have you completed a tertiary education back then?
Hi Sherlyn, at the time, I was only studying my HR degree. This is why it was such a stressful experience for me (like I mentioned in the video) because I wasn't prepared for it. That's why I certainly recommend getting the right guidance, ESPECIALLY in HR.
I just want to know why HR hates employees so much..they are not on our on the employee side what so ever,I find them more harassing than anything else,I always said HR can make or break a company....
Sorry you’ve had this experience! This is a generalisation. If you watch the video I talk about the misconception that HR makes the decisions. They don’t. They inform and give advice to decision makers who have the final say.
Hi, I wanted to know if HR gives you a chance to travel? I'm getting an HRM specialization from a good college but I want a job where there would be international projects and travelling and meeting people from around the world.
This really depends on the company you end up working for. If that’s important to you, I’d look for international companies so you get that opportunity 🙂
Im an HR advisor for 8 yrs now in the netherlands. Most uninteresting job ever. But it pays well and i have nice collegues, lots of freedom. But other than that dont ever persue an HR career.its useless ;p
HR is no longer just a support function. That is an outdated way of thinking. There might be decisions that you disagree but don't let be an excuse to perform unethical but still legal practices.
In the context of business units, HR (similar to marketing and finance) are there to support operational units. I agree, it’s certainly difficult to support decisions you disagree with that are unethical - I talk through this in my experience of “drawing the line.” I discuss this in greater detail in my video on “Ethical dilemmas in HR.”
Hi Jay - my website is purposefully down. I’ve been concentrating on other work outside of RUclips/my business so I took the website down as it’s one less thing to maintain in my busy life. Thanks for visiting!
I think this video was great very informational but also hard to watch after awhile gets kinda boring definitely need more personality or like a joke or something to keep people watching
So probably a good paying job created in the race to the bottom. Too old for it. Humans are a valuable resource but managing them for the corporate good is a slippery slope.
Thanks for your input, Dale. I look at HR as managing systems and processes that help people at work, as well as protect business interests. If it’s a race to the bottom, people may as well be treated well in the process.
@@annefloreskepu Io I whish, hr is an unnecessary phenomenon in my limited experience. I show up for work every day and do my best but it gets me no benefit in my situation. I feel hr is an unnecessary barrier to true value of human resources, just a new layer of corruption to the true value of humanity.
Hello! Thank you for this useful video, you got a new subscriber. I have a question about what you exactly mean when you talk about the fact that HR managers can take care of different projects. What kind of projects do you refer to for example? Thank you!
Hey Luisa - just checking back in to let you know I’ve uploaded a video dedicated to L&D. It might help you better understand HR related projects. Go check it out! X

hey girl! im considering both of those as my majors! not sure which one I want, how do you like studying those so far?
Get a real job. HR is not a real job.
The major branches of HR:
1. Recruitment and staffing
2. Compensation and benefits
3. Employee Relations
4. Learning and Development
5. Lab our law, compliance and IR

Rae Bougardt very good 😊 Different countries call the ‘cycle’, specialties, or branches different things

SUPER helpful. I’m currently working for a small-mid size staffing agency as an HR Generalist / Compliance Administrator. I do a lot of background checks, compliance clearance, on boarding and off boarding, and a lot of stuff to do with visas. I like it but I’m basically the only person in the department, and it’s a ton of work. There’s a lot of autonomy like you said, but there’s a ton of responsibility and you’re pretty alone in the situation and there aren’t a lot of people to turn to for help or advice. I wish we had more people on the team, it would be a lot better.
Thanks so much for popping by! Yep it can be a lot of admin 😅 My advice would be to build a business case for a part-time support, or build capability in your line managers so they can take on some of those people-management responsibilities. For example, I’ve previously asked hiring managers to compile compliance documents for their hires, so that it’s one less administrative thing I have to do in chasing up information. It depends on your org though of course. Hang in there 😊
Thanks so much for such an informative video on the HR industry! I used to work at DJs on the selling floor, I have now graduated my Bachelor of Commerce (with a HR focus) and currently working in the HR field within the retail industry and really enjoying it :)
Love it! Great come up story :)
As an executive assistant who is used to handling everything administrative, I feel so seen by the executive assistants identifying as HR managers call-out! That said, I have found it's my favorite aspect of the job- I love the mix of humanness and practicality and think I might go back to school to specialize!
Sayre Wilkin I’m glad you stopped by, Sayre! You should definitely go and study, if you enjoy those aspects in your current role, you may find you enjoy other facets of HR (leadership, development, business partnering) too. 😊
Fabulous video! I don't know why there is a stigma going around that HR isn't a valuable career. You have done HR great justice with this commentary.
Thanks a bunch :)
Yasss finally I am seeing a lot of content creators sharing stuff about HR. I am a second year college student studying Business Administration Major in Human Resource Management. I am worried what to expect in the real business world since I know it will be a different experience and view when working in HR. I assumed there are a lot of pressure as an HR staff or manager as you are like the bridge between the top management and employees. In addition from that, the responsibilities and duties of being an HR. It made me terrified to think about it, which is why I am thankful for content creators like you who share your experiences and knowledge about working in HR. Thank you so much for this!
So glad to hear it! Good luck on your journey.
Wow, very informative, and you are very well spoken. I am in school right now to get my bachelor's in business admin. with a concentration in HR. Then, I plan on getting my master's degree in HR. Thank you for the video!
That’s great Sarah, glad you enjoyed. I recommend getting a few years of work experience under your belt, applying HR principles, before jumping into your masters. That’s just my take on getting the most value out of postgrad studies! Good luck 😊
@@annefloreskepu I appreciate your advice. Thank you!
This doesn’t require a Bachelor’s Degree, much less a Master’s. How ridiculous. This entire department represents useless bloat in a company.
this is a helpful video! i am going into my second year of psychology next year (in new zealand) and i was unsure about what i may do once i have completed my degree but this video has confirmed it for me. i am hoping with the undergraduate i can build up my experience slowly to get into the HR field
That’s such lovely feedback! Hope you enjoy your studies. Keep in touch on LinkedIn. Good luck with everything 😊
Nice video. I've worked in HR for 30 years all over the world and it's a challenging and rewarding role!!
Thanks so much Scott, any feedback on my insights? What would you say has been your biggest lesson in the HR game?
@@annefloreskepu that’s a very good question! Probably this, do unto others as they would have done unto them
what A-level subjects do you suggest would help you study HR?
@@clairew710 great question - I’d go for psychology (obviously), English and Biology - biology is the next big frontier for people professionals
@@ScottMcArthur thank you! But is there an alternative for biology? It's not my strongest subject
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Nice to see another HR Professional putting out quality content on RUclips!

Thank you for this video - I like learning about people who are in Human Resources. I am working on moving up in my career.
That’s so great! Glad you enjoyed it. I’ve got lots more on the HR field. One video you might find helpful is one I did on the HR Coordinator role - depending on where you are in your career x
@@annefloreskepu thank you! I will check it out. Do you offer coaching/mentoring sessions?
Hey Anne! I'm coming out of my last semester of my HRM degree in Australia and this was a really great video. Especially the points on small businesses vs larger ones. really going to help me in the next few months! Thanks so much
Woo! Not many Aussies in the comments. Glad it helped out ☺️ I’ve just posted another video on the HR Coordinator role which is typically entry-level. Thanks for watching!
This does not require a degree. HR is just a bloated personnel department. It’s a stain upon business.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and views about the world of HR. I very much appreciate it and may go towards the same path of studying this line of work. You also seem like such a strong business woman that I admire! You're also very pretty!! :) I hope you're staying safe and healthy during this crazy time too

Very informative video. I am considering starting a generalist certificate in HR as a second career, and found your video to be incredibly honest and helpful. Thank you for sharing your advice and experience.
I’m so glad, Miel! Thank you for stopping by and sharing your feedback. Good luck with your studies!
Get a real job. HR is not a real job. It’s a mark of failure in life.
I’m a nail tech currently. But I’ve work retail for years before. I’m good with people. But I love my job but I want something more stable. Planning on doing nails as a side hustle.
That’s great - so many transferable skills in service that can be applied to HR. Knowing how to talk to people and get good results is 70% of the job!
this video was incredibly helpful, thank you so much!
I work in the trades but have always had an interest in psychology and helping people. Do you think it's possible to transition to an HR career? I am looking at community college certificate programs in Canada. Would that be enough to get an entry level position?
@@Shannon_Robbie that’s great! Coming with existing work experience is always beneficial. A certificate is a solid starting point, but it depends on the employer and their entry criteria. If it gives you the foundational, theoretical knowledge, and a taste of what to expect, either way - it will inform you of whether or not you would like to pursue HR, so win win!
What are your working hours and days like? Is it Mon to Fri? Do you have to bring work home sometimes? Are you able to enjoy life away from work ?like is there work life balance
Great question! A lot of this is covered in the video. Most HR roles are Monday to Friday, with some evening or weekend work depending on the operational requirements of the business. I often take my work home but I am definitely able to enjoy life away from work. HR are really champions for work life balance and integration, so I’ve been fortunate in Australia that the HR departments I’ve worked in have encouraged a healthy relationship with work.
@@annefloreskepu thank you for your response can I also ask, alot of people say hr is not for the faint of heart, because you deal with alot as you mentioned personal problems of the employees like health and family death and etc. I come from a back ground of studying dental hygiene and I'm looking to change careers into hr because I've seen the career variety in HR and helping people and grow in their workplace and also hoping to experience personal growth as well. The current job I have now is way to repetitive, cleaning teeth in a hunch over position,( I don't mean to be negative )but on the other hand I've been getting excited listen to hr pros talk about the different roles and types of companies they work for and it seems so interesting and there's so much more to learn and do. So when they say it's not for the faint of heart how do I know if I'm someone that's able to deal with all this?
@@landofmilkchillies5832 I think the best way is to understand yourself and your own boundaries/limitations. What drains you, excites you, gives you energy etc. If you’re a sociable person and enjoy talking to others, or like work with complex problems, then maybe you’ll be better equipped than most to work within HR. Good luck!
Great Video Anne! I’m trying to decide what to do next for my career. I have a degree in Business Management, and I’m thinking about going back to school to study HR. The truth is, I don’t want to do anything customer service related, and it seems to me like HR is more of an internal strategic role. There are definitely some challenges like you described; but I think it’s something that I could be really good at. What would you say an entry level HR role would be like?
DrumKiller2 heya! I’m sorry I didn’t see this earlier. First off, good for you for recognising what you enjoy/dislike in a role. Whilst HR is an internal role, you’ll still have a client group to serve - it’s a support function all about serving others 😅 That being said, it’s a very different kind of client. Entry level HR roles are usually Administrator/Coordinator roles that involve quite a bit of data processing, assisting with projects and reporting, and answering first-level queries (eg. Can I have a copy of my contract?). It’s very rewarding and in most businesses, you will get to work across a broad range of functions so you get exposure to IT/Finance/Marketing etc. From there it’s about absorbing all the information you can to get better at risk management, interpreting legislation, and understanding stakeholder engagement. Hope that helps! It’s probably a better I do a video on it as it’s such a big question 😅😊
@@annefloreskepu Hi Anne! Just wanted to give you an update since it's been about a year and a half since I saw your video. I'm happy to say that I'm now working as an HR Associate at really big financial firm! I work for the Talent Acquisition Operations team. I gotta say, this is a such an interesting and fun role. I get to interact with candidates as they go through the background check, senior level management, third party vendors, and my team of course. Every day is different, and there is always something new happening. Watching your video really helped me gain a sense of the direction that I wanted to go, and I'm so glad to be on this path. Thanks so much :)
@@DrumKiller2 this makes me so happy to hear! That’s amazing you’ve found a great role you’re enjoying. I’m glad I got to share my experience and that positively impacted - even just a little! Well done and stay in touch 😊
Thank you for the insight! As others said there aren't many videos about HR so glad I found this one.
A couple questions- What kind of issues arise on the daily that can be frustrating outside of employee issues? How often during your experiences have issues with employees came up?
Hi Vincent, thanks for stopping by and really good questions.
1) Common problems that arise on a daily basis are those that are experienced by most other departments Eg. Resourcing, budgets, pressure from the executive etc.
2) In a retail/service environment, employee issues would come up weekly. In a professional services environment (engineering) maybe once a month. It really depends on the culture of the organisation.
Great video. I'm currently deciding between HR and L&D but i think from what you said about starting in a general HR role then deciding on a sub set might be a good idea.
Glad you enjoyed it :) I also have a video that’s more specific to L&D which you can find on the channel. Good luck with your studies/work options!
@@annefloreskepu thank you I will definitely check that out!

Hi Anne, how did you get an HR position at 19? I'm a 3rd year psychology major and have been applying to internships in HR but haven't heard back from any yet. I have a lot of work experience but nothing specifically in HR. Do you have any recommendations for how to get an HR internship without prior direct work experience in HR?
Heya! I have a video on how I got into HR. I was fortunate to work for a company that needed this support and grew into the role. I recommend reaching out to your university also for intern programs!
Found this very interesting indeed as someone who is starting out on my HR journey hopefully as having never worked in a HR role.
Good luck with everything! Thanks for watching.
Thanks🎉
I have a psychology BA. Would I need further education to get into HR? I live in Canada
@@thebatburger many HR pros have a psych degree :)
Hey Anne, Im looking to go into HR after I finish my Psychology degree. I chose not to go into an HR program directly as I didn't want to deal with accounting and numbers. I feel like Psychology pairs in well with the HR field because of the fact that its about motivating people to work their best. Do you personally thing that a psychology degree would pair in well with an HR job?
Hi Hamza, yes absolutely! A lot of my colleagues have an undergraduate in psychology. The two go hand-in-hand and really compliment one another.
@@annefloreskepu What about a JD degree? Does it pair well with HR?
@@richbrake9910 do you mean Juris Doctor? There’s a lot of employment relations law crossover in HR, so it could be complimentary for sure.
@@annefloreskepu Yes, Juris Doctor. Thank You.
The fields you've worked in are super diverse. Did you always know you wanted to be a HR practitioner?
I originally wanted to be a lawyer! It turns out I enjoyed working across different functions more, so stuck to HR :)
@@annefloreskepu does hr still involve some law ?
@@landofmilkchillies5832 yep employment relations law
Hi there! I am currently a nurse. I graduated with a Nursing Degree, but I was hoping to pivot to an HR position. Do you have any recommendations on how to transition?
Heya! Your study pathway is quite different to the skill set required for HR. Do you have working experience in the HR space? I recommend completing a few elective courses/units in HR to see if you like it, before making any decisions. Recommendations would be to align your studies to the career you’re after, especially if it requires specific skills. If you have access to a careers counsellor or any HR professionals on campus, it’s worth reaching out to them to share their experience/views. Good luck!
I am currently studying Behavioral Sciences (which includes Psychology, Anthropology, and Sociology). Our curriculum states that our degree can be a good path for the Industry (HR and OD). Do you think a Behavioral Sciences graduate could easily get an entry level job in the HR field? Also, how does the ladder in HR work (the entry level where you should apply for first before stepping up to the sub levels where you could specialize)?
I’m not 100% sure, but apparently they said its best to specalize in HR. And Grad School would help?
Hi Stephanie, first off - OMG I cannot believe I didn’t see this message from one year ago. I usually reply to every comment so this just slipped through the cracks, my apologies.
To answer your question (I’m sure you’ve figured it out by now, but for anyone else reading):
- Many HR professionals have a behavioural sciences background, and many psychologists have a HR background funnily enough. The work is so closely tied to human behaviour and theories of motivation that they are very complimentary and it’s easy to get an HR entry role from a psych degree.
- HR ladders usually look like this, HR; admin, coordinator, advisor, officer, business partner/manager, Head of, Director/Chief of
- the ladder above can be applied to any specialisation. For example, L&D Coordinator, OD Business Partner, Remuneration and Benefits Advisor
Sorry again that this has come a year late - I hope you’ve done well in your studies and enjoying it!
Hey Audrey! I replied to Stephanie’s comment. Apologies it’s taken me so long and thank you for your reply 😊
I study a banchelor degree in HR but I have some doubs, because people inform and discourage me because the salariess are less , thd hiring process are through friends and relatives and it it hard to work with people.
I am descouraged now and what to do you think?
Hi Andreea, sorry to hear you’re discouraged! I can’t speak for other countries, but in Australia the salary for HR professionals is actually quite competitive alongside marketing professionals and other support services. Unfortunately there is bias all over the place when it comes to recruitment, you can only hope that you apply to businesses that have good recruitment practises. My
Personal opinion, working in HR can be emotionally exhausting and you really have to enjoy what you do. If you are chasing a salary, HR is still a good career, but if it’s your only priority, you might want to research high-paying jobs in your country and do something related to HR. For example, HR in the mining and technology industries pay very well.
Very informative and thorough, not to mention you're gorgeous!:)
Vera Nakhimova so kind of you! Thanks Vera 😊
Love the bright texts
Thanks Lee
Hi Ann, very informative vedio what do you think of HR in healthcare organisation ,thanks.
Hi Racheal, thanks for stopping by. HR in healthcare comes with a lot of risk and reward. For example, the risk that HR is managing in certain industries such as healthcare, construction, law etc are of greater complication than industries that may not have such liability - Eg retail. Then again, the reward you receive for supporting healthcare professionals may be deeply satisfying as you’re “helping the people who help people.” Hope that makes sense!? For any HR person, I strongly recommend you value your own time and self care, as being there for others is emotionally taxing.
Hey do you have any recommended reading for boosting business strategic thinking in order to improve your skill as an HR professional?
Oh sorry Myrna, I didn’t see this comment. A few of my favourite reads:

- Roxy’s Little Black Book of Tips & Tricks, Roxy Jacenko (not HR related, but 100% relevant to business)

Hello, i really love your video, it helps me a lot❤️ But by the way, do you need to do much of mathematics, business caculus or finance while you study and work?
Thuy Anh Tran Hi, thanks for stopping by 😊 I guess that really depends on what you’re studying. Eg a business degree will usually require you to do economics, finance and accounting as core subjects. In the workplace (relating to HR) there’s a lot of calculation relating to contracts and remuneration reviews, but nothing an excel spreadsheet can’t help you with 😊
@@annefloreskepu thank you very much☺️ by the way, do you have to travel much when you have a job in HR?
I’m starting a job as an HR Business Partner, $100k. How long would it take to get to $150k-$175k do you think? And at what level would I need to be at?
This is really dependent on your skill level and ability to influence change. At $150k you’re looking at a mid-senior HR Manager with people management responsibilities. If you’re not already leading a team, I recommend looking for opportunities to do this, and brushing up on your business acumen.

Hello! I am a freshman in college and I am trying to figure out which degree to major in that could be a great fit for human resources but also good for other branches of business if it turns out down the line I think a different career would be a better fit? Any suggestions?
Hi and welcome! Psychology or marketing are really complimentary as they work through many of the same motivation principles/models.
Hi!
Can you tell me which degree is best to become a HR?
I'm going to complete my school and I don't know which bachelors to take.
I'm thinking of Psychology or Business management, honestly I'm more interested in Psychology, do you think I can get a job in HR with Psych degree? Or should I take anything else?
A lot of people study psychology and find work in HR! There are many crossover principles. That being said, you should always take the path you’re more interested in - it’ll make it easier for you when times get tough, like juggling work and exams etc :)
@@annefloreskepu Thank you so much for replying! Okay, I'll go for Psychology then! Hope you are doing good :)

Hi Saad, it’s best to get some work experience or do a short-term certificate in HR to increase your chances 😊
@@annefloreskepu thanks so much I will definitely look into it
Do you know if having an HR development degree instead of an HR management degree makes a difference in getting a job as an HR specialist? I also like collaborating in groups, would you say HR is really independent? Thanks!
I’d say it doesn’t make a major difference, unless you are wanting to go into something like HR systems for example - then technology and HR analytics will be more useful to you. I think what’s more important is choosing the right grad job/work experience 😊 Independence in HR really depends on the organisation. In bigger companies you’ll get lots of opportunity for collaboration but in small businesses (say less than 200 employees) you’ll largely have to work autonomously.

Hii, i'm currently a high school student, about to give the finals after few months...So should be going to an uni from September-
There's this dual course available in one of the uni's here, BBA in digital marketing & HR management.
Soo, what do u think of this combination?
And will it be easy to get internships here and there? 😕
Oh one more question, can you just briefly describe what all might be taught during the uni course..like the study pattern, will it be hard? (Hope it's nothing about memorising, but understanding 🙃)
Waiting for responseee~
Hi Abida - that’s exciting!
1) Yes - great combination. I think both will offer a variety of internship options on their own, but combined you make for an interesting intern. Will it be easy? Probably not unless you apply yourself! Get networking and build a base of HR professionals who might be able to support you in your second/third year.
2) I have a video of what I actually studied at University - feel free to check it out on the channel 😊

I am 34 yrs of age now and currently studying Human Resource Management, do you think there’s still hope for me for the HR fields despite of my age??
Yes! Absolutely. With age comes other experiences that I’m sure are transferable to HR
Don't worry man, I'm 30. Lots happened in my life. Hr could be a good move
I actually didn’t know what major and so I went to a career counselor and HR Tech, HR Generalist appeared. I know there are different sections in HR, my question is does someone who work in HR do everything from recruiting to worker relation or is it just certain thing like you do one thing like recruiting and there’s another HR thy does compensation and stuff? Idk if HR is for me, I just went with it because of my career counselor results and also I’m about to graduate next year, and honestly even now I still don’t know if it’s right, I just don’t wanna drop everything and start 4 years again!

Thanks for the video, Is it possible for HR to become a strategic & business partner in firms rather than being a mere support function? Also can HR become CEO?
HR is an exceptionally strategic role, just because it’s a support function doesn’t mean it’s not important. Accounting, finance and marketing are also support functions - but they’re strategic in nature too. And yes absolutely - lots of HR practitioners go on to be CEO’s!

hey! i am currently in 12th and want to go canada and planning to do psychology bachelors because of communication and all i have interst in buisness too but how can i do both and how much money does hr manager get and opportunities and kind of degree and what the syllabus are
Hi there - that sounds like a good plan of attack if you're interested in those subjects. You need a Bachelor of Business with an HRM focus or psychology degree (usually) to secure an HRM role. An HR Manager carries more and more risk, so the salary can be quite good, depending on your skill set. The average HR manager for a medium sized business can earn anywhere from $120-$150k AUD. This of course is a generalisation, and you should do your own research in your local area. That being said, HR is incredibly hard work. If you're in it for the money, this is probably not the right career path for you.
Anne Flores - HR Gal money does consider for me a lot also the things that hr do
This was so inspiring. I feel very stuck in life right now. School is very different here in the Netherlands but I got a degree in managing when I was 19. I have worked in 3 different stores in different functions, currently I work at a bakery. I want to do more with my life and I'm thinking of going back to school and studying for HR. I will be 25 when I am done if all goes well. I'm just scared I will be 'too old' to be a starter in hr. Also I'm a very insecure person and I'm scared I'm not capable enough for working in HR as I can be shy, but I am empathetic, I am a good listener, work really hard an learn well. I guess I am just scared to go for it, because it has been pretty safe in my comfort zone😅
Oh Jamie, stop! You’re gonna make me cry. This such a nice comment and thank you for sharing. I’m telling you now - the world needs more empathetic people in business!!! You’re never too old to start something new - I’ve started learning how to paint and I’m nearly 30.
Connect with me on IG and keep in touch @aep.consulting. I want to know how you’re going and cheer you on!!! 🥳
@@annefloreskepu Thankyou♡ I just followed!😊😊 I really hope I feel brave enough to just do it!!
Hello! I just wanted to chime in and say that 25 is absolutely not old to enter another career (not 25, not 26, not 28 etc). Don’t underestimate the work experience and skills you have already built with your previous jobs, no matter how unrelated it seems. Please go for it and do not limit yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror, look at yourself in the eyes, and encourage that beautiful and capable individual staring at you. I know it’s easier said, but life’s too short, so live it the best you can ☺️. If you can go back to school, do it so that when the opportunity comes, you will be prepared. Wishing you much success!

Hi Cassie, if you watch the whole video I talk through differences between generalist and specialist HR. You can read more about it over at our blog too www.aep-consulting.com / @aep-consulting

Loved the video! Very informative and helpful. :) what degree do you have?
Thanks Trina! I have a few HR-related quals: Bachelor of Business HRM, Graduate Certificate HRM, CPHR Australia, Cert IV Training & Assessment :)
Could you do hr with a business management degree
Yes absolutely - I did a Bachelor of Business with a major in HRM and minor in Management
Anne Flores - HR Gal okay but how about if you did just straight up business management , would that mean you have to do HR after or is that relevant for you just to go into HR with that ?
Catch me in real life Catch me in real life You could potentially secure an entry level role if you have any transferable/related work experience, for example if you managed a team in another field. In my personal experience though, all entry level HR roles require an HR/psych degree or diploma
Anne Flores - HR Gal ok I may reconsider my major . Also do you have a cipd or is it best to get a cipd after the degree or instead of the degree
Sorry didn’t see this - I have my CPHR which is the Australian CIPD equivalent. I definitely recommend going down that path a few years into an HR role, because a lot of the coursework is applied. This means you actually need to know what you’re doing to make use of the course and apply it to your workplace 😂 It will likely confuse you and add unnecessary stress in your early years

That’s great! You can make a lot of positive impact in that role
Hi there, I’ve posted a new video on my learnings throughout 2023 as a senior HR manager. You might find this useful! Check out my channel for the upload. Have a fab holiday season 🎄
I hope HR is better in the uk than here in the US. They are a bunch of robots who are NOT there for the employees but the company
I’m from Australia 🇦🇺😊 Fortunately we have very strong employment laws so employers are really bound to do the right thing.
hello, thank you so much for making this video! i'm curious when you say you first fired a worker at the age of 19. if i may ask, how can you work at a very young age? have you completed a tertiary education back then?
Hi Sherlyn, at the time, I was only studying my HR degree. This is why it was such a stressful experience for me (like I mentioned in the video) because I wasn't prepared for it. That's why I certainly recommend getting the right guidance, ESPECIALLY in HR.
Oh and in reference to working - I was working as a Sales Officer for a wholesale company at the time, which you don't need a degree for.
I just want to know why HR hates employees so much..they are not on our on the employee side what so ever,I find them more harassing than anything else,I always said HR can make or break a company....
Sorry you’ve had this experience! This is a generalisation. If you watch the video I talk about the misconception that HR makes the decisions. They don’t. They inform and give advice to decision makers who have the final say.
Are there men in HR in entry level positions?
There sure are! I’ve noticed HR is growing in popularity amongst men.
@@annefloreskepu cool I am going for it now at 34 single must be a roller coaster ride for men
@@OperatorBayArea77788 good luck in your career move :)
Where are you located?
Australia 🇦🇺
Hi, I wanted to know if HR gives you a chance to travel? I'm getting an HRM specialization from a good college but I want a job where there would be international projects and travelling and meeting people from around the world.
This really depends on the company you end up working for. If that’s important to you, I’d look for international companies so you get that opportunity 🙂
Looks tough
Depends on who you work for :)
Im an HR advisor for 8 yrs now in the netherlands. Most uninteresting job ever. But it pays well and i have nice collegues, lots of freedom. But other than that dont ever persue an HR career.its useless ;p
😂 each to their own!
HR is no longer just a support function. That is an outdated way of thinking. There might be decisions that you disagree but don't let be an excuse to perform unethical but still legal practices.
In the context of business units, HR (similar to marketing and finance) are there to support operational units. I agree, it’s certainly difficult to support decisions you disagree with that are unethical - I talk through this in my experience of “drawing the line.” I discuss this in greater detail in my video on “Ethical dilemmas in HR.”
Can guys do this
Of course they can. Plenty of men in HR :)
Nice
Thanks for stopping by 😊
Your website is either broken or hacked.
Hi Jay - my website is purposefully down. I’ve been concentrating on other work outside of RUclips/my business so I took the website down as it’s one less thing to maintain in my busy life. Thanks for visiting!
1000th like!
Love that!! Don’t know how I missed this. Thank you.
I think this video was great very informational but also hard to watch after awhile gets kinda boring definitely need more personality or like a joke or something to keep people watching
😂😂 Thanks Shateeka - I’ll work on my stand up comedy whilst talking about personal experiences in HR.
So probably a good paying job created in the race to the bottom.
Too old for it. Humans are a valuable resource but managing them for the corporate good is a slippery slope.
Thanks for your input, Dale. I look at HR as managing systems and processes that help people at work, as well as protect business interests. If it’s a race to the bottom, people may as well be treated well in the process.

I whish, hr is an unnecessary phenomenon in my limited experience. I show up for work every day and do my best but it gets me no benefit in my situation.
I feel hr is an unnecessary barrier to true value of human resources, just a new layer of corruption to the true value of humanity.
I thought when you said "change it up" this video would eventually lead to a topless format. Disappointed to say the least!
Perverted commentary from behind a screen, nice.
Is she talking real shit or fake ?
The realest, Mathew.
pen pushers
Great input!
ngl the way she says H the whole video is irritating heach arr
I’m Australian, that’s how we pronounce our “h” 🤷🏻♀️
Hello! Thank you for this useful video, you got a new subscriber. I have a question about what you exactly mean when you talk about the fact that HR managers can take care of different projects. What kind of projects do you refer to for example?
Thank you!
Luisa D thanks for the lovely comment! There’s quite a variety - HRIS implementation, remuneration reviews, employer brand campaigns, etc
Hey Luisa - just checking back in to let you know I’ve uploaded a video dedicated to L&D. It might help you better understand HR related projects. Go check it out! X
@@annefloreskepu sorry for the very late reply, I will gladly check it out! thank you
