I'm an HR Assistant and the politics is so true and so hard. It's hard to promote social justice if the company is more for profit instead of taking care of their employees. And when you speak up, management thinks you're against them when u just want to do the right thing because following the law is ur job.

Human resources is all about doing the right thing. It shouldn't ever be about profit or selfish motives. You're the right person in the right job. Unfortunately, many of these HR professionals aren't the right ones to be in this department.

I LOVE this video! I’ve been on HR for 26 yrs. HR has certainly changed since the beginning of my career. Each topic that u touched on was spot on. HR can be draining & rewarding at the same time. I would like to add that whoever decides to get into HR should be approachable and have a good attitude, and be helpful. After all, we are a resource to the company.❤

Thank you for this video!! It was very informative. So this is where I'm at in my HR career journey. I've been in the banking and finance industry for over 10 years. I've always been good at building resumes ,helping people with their job search and things like that. I've always wanted to get into HR but didn't know how to go about doing so without a degree . I was hesitant about going back to school at 31 while working full time with a toddler but I've decided that I'm going to do it. I'm enrolling in Spring 2022 classes for my Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources Management!! I'm so excited but also nervous.

I agree with all your tips. Very true each of them. I don't understand why profit oriented people enter the HR field and ruin it's reputation. They should ideally go into marketing if they care less about people well being and more about company profits/numbers. The part about wanting to make the company a better place but lack of support from upper levels is SOOOO true. This I feel is the worst parts about working in HR, because you're literally not allowed to do your job by those who hired you in the first place. Unbelievable!

Thank you so much for this information. I’m new to HR, will be completing my undergrad degree next month, and trying to focus on what’s next for me in the industry. I currently work as an HR Generalist. It’s very hard trying to finish my degree in Covid when I really can’t network like I want to, but I’m determined to push on! Networking is my goal as well as getting certified. Also I love your point of finding the right mentor, because not everyone will be happy with your HR growth. I believe I’ve had a setback because of that very thing. I’m looking forward to more of your guidance. Thanks again!

Thanks for making this video! I have been in the HR space for about 4 years or so after completing my bachelors in HR. I then worked for a couple years before returning to education. I currently am getting my Masters in HR. My plan is once I am in my next job after completed and have a bit more experience to then get certified. I loved your tip about focusing on mental health. It is super important in this field! Thanks for the video.

Very informative. Thank you so much!

I agree with everything you said. Especially when I decided to get certified, I didn't tell my current employer at the time because I knew it wouldn't benefit me at that employer. At my new employer I was able to get a promotion and I believe my certification was helpful in me getting my new role.

That was a great video and some great advice. A very heart to heart one and although half my family is in HR, you explained it much more candidly and better. Thanks!

I am an immigrant, and doing my research right now ended up on your video, was really clear and easy to understand since I've been learning English and I think will be a big challenge for me. But I am ready to go. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for the advice. I have a BA in psychology and I am hoping to use this and my love for helping people to break into the HR world.

Thank you for this amazing video, it is my second year in hr, also I am doing my magister in working and organizational psychology, every advice you gave is so important. Sometimes people think that being hr is very easy and hr's role is not so important,but I think that being hr means that you love people, you make organizational culture, you are supporter, you mean a lot for your employees. (p.s. Also I like advice about mental health 🤭💪🙈 we need it )

So this video is 2 years old now, and I'm incredibly grateful for it. I just applied for , interviewed, and was accepted for an HR position at work. I had to interview with the market manager as well as the store manager I'm going to work for. It went better than I expected, but I was still so nervous. Your video has raised my confidence that I'll get the hang of it. And I now plan to get certified as well. Thank you so much for this content!

This is so true!!! I have been in this career for so long and feel ready to go back to college and get a masters in another career. The politics and unethical behaviors in the workplace is getting worse. Especially when you are trying to do what is right. It has not been a career that ever felt valued or appreciated. You burn out a lot. Please understand these truths because for those who have done the work for 15 plus years, we know what we are saying.

Wow, I didn't know HR would encountered that much internal challenges. I heard stories as you mentioned where some employees do not trust their HRs to do the right thing. Thank you for talking about these topics. Personally, I had considered going to HR because I feel I would be a great HR asset to a company since I considere myself an ethical person, & have a general knowledge of business law, & how HR should operate-legally & ethically. I also considered HR because in the past, I have seen how some HRs weren't doing the right; be it was law related, unethical beheviors, and/or injustice. I simply wanted to bring changes. Lol. As for envy in the workplace, you find that everywhere even in the lower or the more simple jobs. I just didn't know it existed in HR as well. All you need to do to be disliked at work; be a good employee, be a confidante person, know your job well, have a great character, a good personality, be respectful, have class, bring success in your role, don't call out, be on time, focus on your work, & don't get involved in gossip. At first, they seem to like it, you might even get compliments on how good you are, but things will change very quickly. I guarantee you, you might even get fired for being a good employee.

It all depends on the organization you choose to work for. Some will require and place emphasis on the certification, while others require a degree. It seems to be a numbers game, so the more you network and apply, you will receive mixed feedback. Don't worry; considering you have the degree, there will be some companies who will pay for the certification.

Great video!! I started in the HR field in 1996 as temporary employee. After 6 months I was hired. In 2005, I decided to leave HR (aka corporate America) and became a personal trainer. In 2010, the housing crisis caused me to lose all my clients. I had to find a job. Guess what field I decided to go back to? I was so fortunate to be offered a HR position considering my five year gap. In 2023, I still find human resources exciting, interesting, stressful, etc. I describe HR as "Organized Choas".

🥰😍🥰 you’re so gorgeous!

Thank you so much for this! It is so great to hear the perspective from a woman of colour and especially since I am new in my career.

Thank you for all of the great advise! I do have one pressing question however. I have been looking for a mentor for over 25 years, and I don't happen to know anyone personally who is in the Human Resources field. I have tried to reach out to HR professionals on LinkedIn and Indeed, but it seems incredibly difficult to provoke feedback from potential HR collogues or potential friends. Even teachers from the University are on to bigger and better obstacles in their personal lives, that it's proves difficult to find mentorship or even basic advise about the HR field. How can one get a mentor?

This is really good. I've been in HR for >20 yrs, but never did the true work to be a super HR professional. Honestly, I am not in love with this profession like so many others. I just went along to get a check. I did the base that was required. Now, I feel like I'm trying to catch up on the deep knowledge. I don't desire a SHRM cert, but do want CEBS cert.
