Working Human Resources is a job that can offer many fulfilling opportunities. Besides, you can’t find another job where you can work directly with people to ensure their happiness while working with conflicting needs of management. It takes a certain type of person to work here, and it isn’t easy to say the least. It takes someone who is patient, fair and very well organized.
Even more specifically, we can give you 10 signs you’re either and HR guru or you should be!
1. You “HR” friends and family: You’re constantly giving your advice for action plans and you may even find yourself making better decisions for your significant other.
2. You’re financially savvy: This means you know how to spend your money (or not spend it) and you’ll be retired early and still be fine on money.
3. You keep peace. You’ve learned that there’s no use in arguing, so you just play it cool with everyone and you’re constantly mediating peers, friends and family.
4. Your LinkedIn profile is perfection: You understand just how important this site can be and you’re sure to update your page regularly.
5. You’re sometimes a therapist: When your friends and family are looking for advice they always seem to call you first to ask what they should do.
6. You can see through lies: You’ll find red flags in a resume before they even hit the desk.
7. You address conflict with ease: While most people are having a panic attack you’re writing down what the next step is to solve the issue at hand, cool and calmly.
8. You’re great with secrets: Really, with all the confidentiality you’re around you’re the best at keeping secrets.
9. You cause others to panic: When you ask, “Got a sec,” others’ pulses begin to race.
10. You can smile through anything: NO matter what the situation is you’ve learned to have a permanent smile on your face even if you’re biting your tongue off behind the beautiful grin.
