Career Planning When You Are a Human Resources Assistant

One of the most important departments in a company is the Human Resources Department. This is the nerve center of the establishment, that is, here all the hiring and recruiting, the
keeping of employee records and position availability advertisements. Without the HR Department, most companies would not be able to function.

The role of the Assistant in this office holds many important responsibilities. One of the more important roles held by the
assistant is the upkeep and the maintaining of the employee records. This is vital, as it provides the executives with information on their employees’ performance, strengths and weaknesses, even reprimands.

Another important role the assistant fills is recruiting qualified applicants, setting up interviews and filling the open positions. The assistant’s role is just as vital to the company as the department itself.

Have you ever applied for any position in a company that required a series of questions and interviews, sometimes a few days in duration? This is one of the job descriptions held by the
HR Assistant. When someone enters the HR department looking for a job, they usually speak with an assistant who, as soon as they are asked the question, has documents, reading
material, and interview time slots already established in an organized booklet.

After everything is filled out, the assistants are the ones that check on your listed references, which determine if you are a qualified candidate to bring to their executive supervisor, and, once agreed upon, they are also the ones that you hear from a few days later, whether it be a “yes” or a “no.”

The HR Assistant position can be filled by anyone with at least a High School diploma, or G.E.D… However, there are a few characteristics you must possess before you can be
considered for this position. One of the most important of these is organization. You cannot be in charge of company files if organization is not something that comes natural to you.

Another is a professional telephone voice. This is so vitally important, as most of your time would be spent on the phone, communicating between executives and potential employees. If you are an assistant for HR, then the company you are working for will have you speaking with other executives and other important folks, so, this is yet another reason for being a
professional can determine whether this position is right for you.

Even though this position is not something you find being advertised in the paper every day, it is more than obtainable by those seeking it.

In fact, it is common for many companies to have many assistant positions open at any given time. With a more than generous salary and a respectable position, this opportunity is something that, if you desire it and are qualified, you should not pass up.
