HR Series: What being an HR Specialist is like//Human Resources Career

[@TheAlassan]

I had an interview for an Hr specialist job, I’m currently in college for Business and Management with a concentration in HR also I’m trying to get SHRM certified. I pray that I get the job so I can gain experience through out my college years,so when I graduate I’ll have experience that can help me go for bigger roles in hr. It’s hard when no one wants to give you a chance with little to no experience.😢

[@HeyyyHR]

I pray you have success with the interview & that it lands you the job offer. Just keep in mind that most times, it’s your resume that’s not standing out. You HAVE to show how you’ve used what you know to get results (aka transformation in your skills)

[@TheAlassan]

@@HeyyyHR You are absolutely right, by me getting my resume updated, that’s why I’ve been getting interviews!!😂

I recently obtained a bachelors in business management with a minor in HR. With that, I just obtained a temporary job offer as an HR specialist with a government agency. In the meantime I just completed 12 credit hours towards my masters in HR and intend on finishing. My hopes is to climb as high as possible within the federal government. Regarding my educational pursuits, would a masters be advisable or should I focus more on certifications?

I got a job & I start Monday as an Hr Specialist I am so scared I have no clue about HR I just pray I catch on in training quickly and I like it! I know this is a great career step

How was the interview process? I have one coming up soon? 😭

[@breebree3457]

Great video girl, I love your videos. I’m about to be promoted to an HR Coordinator soon but I am realizing that I’m starting to be more interested in the tech side of HR and less about the people aspect. I’m interested in transitioning into HRIS, Benefits/Compensation etc. can you do some videos on some of the technical roles in HR? I just got my SHRM-CP and your channel help give me what I needed to pass, so I thank you. How would you suggest someone with about 1 year of experience transition into a HR tech role that pays well?

[@HeyyyHR]

Hmmm… that’s definitely a good one. I’ll make sure to add that to the list! Thank you!!🥰💜💜💜

[@HeyyyHR]

Hey Bree, this is a video I recently did that compared the HRIS Analyst position and the HR Analyst position: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnTOeaWpfZWdfbc

Thank you so much for this video! If you were getting interviewed, what questions would you ask?

[@HeyyyHR]

You're so welcome! Here's a playlist of videos I've done with interview questions for various HR roles. These are questions I ask in interviews, have researched and have been asked. Here's the link: kzbin.info/aero/PLVwCg9-pb6dPMkBI30kRJ-b6d1dMnhwGR

Well, there a well known HR pro ( has her own HR consulting/coaching biz) with 20 years of HR experience straight out of college with only her HR degree. It’s RARE, but possible😊. Active on social. Most don’t have their first degree in HR - hers was & her only.

[@HeyyyHR]

Honestly, there are many, but times have changed bc colleges & universities are starting to offer HR degrees. 20 years ago, most (if any) did not offer them. Crazy how time changes things so much! 💜💜

[@zakiabrowm1081]

I am a HR assistant. The role I would like to apply for is benefits specialist and then A Generalist or HR manager. What’s your thoughts???

[@HeyyyHR]

That sounds like a perfect plan! You’ve made the right plan so just stay focused! 💜💜

[@zakiabrowm1081]

Hi! I got the position as HR Benefits specialist. I didn’t get the salary I was hoping for, but I am going to learn as much as humanly possible. Thanks 🙏🏿 for all your great videos. Any advice or thoughts?

[@HeyyyHR]

@@zakiabrowm1081 you didn’t get the salary??? Oh no! I wish you had a schedule a call with me before offer bc settling should no longer be an option.

[@zakiabrowm1081]

@@HeyyyHR Oh I didn't accept the offer yet. I do that on Monday.

[@HeyyyHR]

@@zakiabrowm1081 I suggest letting them know that you would like to accept the position, but they have to increase the salary before you can accept it. I have an email template & verbal template in the Level Up Your Career ebook. You need that eBook now. Here’s the link: heyyyhr.com/product/leveling-up-your-career-ebook/

Good afternoon, I'm starting a new job as an HR specialist on the 9th of January. Is there anything I should be doing beforehand to put myself in a good position for when I start?

[@HeyyyHR]

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I've created the Training Manual for HR Professionals. It's on sale for a little while. Here's the link: heyyyhr.com/product/training-manual-for-human-resources-professionals/ How are things going so far in your HR Specialist role?

[@jennylopez2780]

if I start as an HR specialist without being an HR assistant or coordinator can i still become an HR Generalist after years of experience as an HR Specialist??

[@HeyyyHR]

Sure can!

[@cm5353]

Does an HR Specialist carry the same tier/tasks as an HR Generalist?

[@HeyyyHR]

No, Specialist only do a fraction of the work as HR Generalists. They’re “specialized” in an area of HR. Generalists do “generalized” HR work. I think I did a video on comparing the two. If I did, I’ll add the link

[@HeyyyHR]

I didn’t do a video comparison of the two, but I did a video on being an HR Generalist. Here’s the link. Let me know if you’d like a video on the comparison of the two. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6XbeaZme6mArbc

Hi, I have been an HR assistant for 1 yr and 7 months and have been had my hands in all areas because of the exposure I receive at my current job. Is applying for a Specialist a great opportunity to go for after HR Assistant?

[@HeyyyHR]

Typically, that’s not only an easy transition but a typical one. I suggest to update your resume, then go for it. If you’d like, I can review your resume. Let me know if you want the link.

[@KeepingUpwitTee]

Great video, can you do one on recruitment. I'm a TA Advisor in manufacturing. I started as a coordinator and moved up. I love it but want to scale up in pay. My pay is good i negotiated as much as i could but seeing and hearing these great salaries makes me think, Hey i want more money. My next goal is to be a TA Partner or Tech Recruiter but I need help knowing how to get there. I am kinda new, I pivoted to Hr in 2020. Help me girl lol

[@HeyyyHR]

You've got this Sis! You're a step above so many others because you have started your HR career. CHEEERS to that! I'm covering HR Recruiting and TA next month since this calendar is already out there. Jump on my email list because that way you can tell me before the month is scheduled on which topics to cover. In the meantime, I have this vlog (link is below) about being in TA....honestly, you get paid much more working in tech TA, so that would be a good goal. I'm here for you! We'll get you there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWmadWdmrK9qsKM
