Becoming A Human Resources Representative At The Ski Resort Of My Choice

Growing up, the business world has always intrigued me, however I am far more curious and eager to develop knowledge about the operations of Business management and human resources. I have strong beliefs that the business world would not be successful without driven individuals who are respected and are developed in a positive working environment.

Pregnant at seventeen and no foundation of stability, I dropped out of school to prepare to raise my child. I then began to struggle and had a hard time making ends meet, so at that time I got on track to seek help and guidance. I started the process to get enrolled in school but backed out due to finding out at nineteen I was expecting my second child. I finally went back to school and got my GED and graduated my program in summer of 2010. I walked across the stage to receive my diploma carrying my son Joziah Jah’Von (5 months) and holding my daughter Ajiona Amory’s hand (2 years). I was very proud and felt

I am very interested in a career field in Human Resources. For this paper, I interviewed Lillian Mannino who is a Human Resource and Personnel Manager at the UC San Diego Graduate School of Global Policy and Strategy. As a manager, Lillian serves as the link between the graduate school’s management and its employees. She is in charge of overseeing recruitment, employee relations, policy development, payroll, and benefits. Personnel management is a special branch of management that is focus on the concerns of employees at work and their relationship with the organization. Her educational experiences consist of a bachelor degree at UC San Diego in Management Science and a professional Human Resources certificate from UCSD Extension. She has been working in the academic administration for almost ten years and earned her current position as manager through climbing up the ladder. She started off working in this field as a student affairs officer then was promoted to an administrative specialist. Her prior work experience paved a path for her to build up professional experience as well as a solid network within the UCSD administrative system.

Nervousness and excitement filled my being as I took those first, shaky steps on Purdue University’s West Lafayette campus. Having just lost my only parent to cancer the year prior, the determination to honor her memory by being the first to graduate college burned brightly within me as I made my way through the halls to my dorm room. What occurred afterwards is testaments my resolve to complete the endeavor I started in hopes of finding grandeur in the pastures beyond graduation. It is this same hope that drives my aspiration to become a Human Resource Generalist through the impactful knowledge and networks gained within University of Colorado Global Campus’ masters of Human Resources Management.

After reading the three chapters concerning the ways that human resource management impacts a business. I have realized that I have a lot to learn reading is good but the best teacher is experience. I pray that everything I have and will read stay with me during my future business adventures. A great deal of what I have read, I have been experiencing through the actions of others on my job. Just like with everything else you have to weigh the pros and cons.

During this internship experience, I have learned many useful skills that have lead me to be the person I wan to be today. From college classes to work experience, I now have the ability to transcend upon internship experiences that can shape my perspective of life. For my last internship, I chose to intern at The Wyomissing Home Depot Human Resources Department. The human resources associates are responsible to maintain a positive work environment among employees. For the most part, human resources associates are focused on career development, execution of learning, employment practice, staffing, recognition and reward. At my internship site, I have established a few goals for myself that will help me keep my focus on the potential career and work setting I will have in the future. The main purpose of this paper is to summarize, reflect on my different learning goals that I established at the beginning of my internship experience at Wyomissing Home Depot human resources department.

My goal is to further develop my career, and grow up to a leadership position within a leading firm that places priority on professionalism and considers their human resources as one of their main assets. I have decided to strive for the master’s program in Human Resources Management because it fits the profile of my career goals. After 7 years of experience in the field I am confident that working in human resources is what makes me feel at my fullest potential, and a life changing decision I have made for my

As an adult returning to school, I was, and still continue to be, faced with many challenges, fears, and obstacles. I decided to go back to school for not only myself but for my family as well. I got sick of living paycheck to paycheck barely making ends meet, as we lived on one income. My husband provided the best that he could, and I am grateful for that. Not being able to provide for my family was very frustrating, due to the medical conditions that I endured while being in the military. As a result of my medical conditions, I was limited on how much I could contribute to my family, which caused a major strain on my marriage and financial status. My sons are the age now to where I don’t want them to see their mother struggling. It hurts

The birth of my son was the most life altering experience that I have ever had, and I want to strive every day to give him the happy childhood that he deserves. To further my education is to both become a more proficient provider and pass on the values of higher learning that will, hopefully, inspire him to want a quality education. Another major event impacting my life was the recent loss of my grandfather, who never stopped encouraging his grandchildren to excel academically. He was forced to drop out of school at an early age to help out on his family’s farm, and always regretted not having the opportunity earn a diploma of any kind. He never failed to share stories such as these because he had no desire to see younger generations of his

This upcoming semester at Wright State University will mark my sixth term as a student in the Raj Soin College of Business. Throughout the last three years I have been pursuing a dual degree in Human Resource Management and General Business Management, with an intended minor of Emergency Management. When I began my journey at Wright State I knew I wanted to learn how I could better help others, help others in areas in which I could not, yet I was unsure of how I was going to see that to fruition. Fortunately, through numerous workshops hosted by the School of Business, insightful opinions of seasoned professors, and the careful advice of advisors I found a niche, in Human Resources, that will allow me to guide others to reach their utmost potential.

I started my education with my dreams in mind. I enrolled at Parkland College and that is where I developed an interest in health. While I was on my journey and completing my bachelor’s degree. I ran into some unforeseen obstacles: doctor visits, paranoia, and a couple of biopsies of the breast. I was commuting to school, working two jobs, and taking care of two kids. In which, I was paranoid and afraid of test results. I thought the worst that I would be lost again. I immediately started to instill in my kids that education is a very powerful tool that can never be taken away. They also knows that my degree is “the key”, it will help me buy our house. With all of that being said, I managed and kept my grades above average.

It has been a long journey. It 's been four years since I enrolled in Human Recourses Management at York University. Finally, graduation is around the corner. It is overwhelming to sit to write about what the future holds after graduation.
