Human Resources Management

INTRODUCTION
In the English class, I had to find a person who has a job that interests me and I had to interview him or her. For my part, the person that I interview works in Human Resources Management. I asked her about some subject that interested me like the possibilities to do this job, the salary, the main functions, the schooling required, etc…So, I will present to you the information in this little report.
REPORT
First of all, she told me that she has a baccalaureate in Human Resources Management. She says also that a BAC in Industrial Relations or a BAC in administration specialized in Human Resources Management, can be field of study in which it possible to do this job.

As she said, when you finish you studies, you can work in many places. For example: hospital centers, educational establishments, federal government, provincial government, manufacturing industries, financial institutions, etc.. You can occupy a job in Human Resources but you can also be an organisational psychologist. The field that you have access to after your studies are management, administration, employees recruitment, health and security at work (ex: CSST).

She explained to me her functions in general. First of all, she deals especially with the staff training. For example, when the representatives of certain companies of product give training, she registries the concerned employees. She is also responsible for preparing the activities events such as the Christmas party, etc... She receives the new employees by informing them about the store’s policies and she assigns a uniform to each of them. She checks also the delay’s hours and the punched in hours for each break that the employees take. After several delays, she makes a report and she gives it to the managers of the concerned employees. She must attend to the collective convention bargaining and prepare the mandates, but it’s especially the Human Resources Director who take this in load. It’s not her who controls the wages and it’s not her who deals with the personnel recruitment because there are other people engaged to carry out the tasks. On the other hand, she places the employees in the departments according to the request, the budget and the custom in the store.

The things that she likes the most in her job are to work with many people; to work in a team. She likes to works in an office, to manage papers and to work with a computer. She thinks that a person who wants to do this job must like to communicate with a lot of people and to have a good persuasion’ sense. She must like to read, to write and she must have an organization’ sense too. As in all parts of the job, she must be determined and very pleasant!

At this moment, she thinks that it’s an accessible career for a student. She says that almost every company asks for Human Resources’ services, so, there are necessarily many posts to fill to take over. Moreover, she learned recently that the students who study in this filed have approximately a 94% chance to find a job.

Her annual wages is between $ 10 000 and $ 30 000 but she says that it depends on the company for which you work. In general, the average wage is approximately $ 35 000.

She likes her job so much and she recommends it to all students who are interested by this field.
CONCLUSION
To finish, I am really happy to have carried out this interview. I am certain now that it’s in this field that I want to work in the future. I think that I have the aptitudes necessary to occupy this job. The person that I interviewed was very pleasant and she gave me the motivation to persevere.
