My Experience At Wyomissing Home Depot Human Resources Department

My experience as an intern at 3M consisted of carrying out laboratory research to ensure the safety and durability of the large-scale manufacturing medicine filter, Zeta Plus™. This experience advanced my ability to collaborate, think ahead, apply what I have learned in Chemistry and Mathematics, and increase my expertise in computer software. My current position in Community Relations at Travelers entails for me to communicate with and manage volunteer opportunities for over 3,000 employees, in addition to connecting Travelers with non-profit partners, event planning, and serving as a liaison in Saint Paul for my remote manager and team in Hartford, Connecticut. This position enables me to not only exercise and expand my communication and technical skills, but also allows for me to learn about myself. And lastly, as a Resident Advisor at the University of Minnesota, I have been able to serve as an academic, social, and personal resource for forty first-year students. As an RA, communication and time management have been at the heart of my success. As a junior studying Marketing and Computer Science, my interests lie within the space of sales marketing, technology and international business, and I strongly believe that Morgan Stanley will allow for me to expand my knowledge in these areas. I sincerely hope to continue this learning process as an intern this coming

As a Human Resource (HR) apprentice, you will spend approximately four years rotating and working with various teams within the Human Resources department and work a minimum of 40 hours per week. An apprenticeship by definition is a “work-study training method with both on-the-job and classroom training” (Noe, 2013, p. 287), and it can be extremely beneficial for future career endeavors. In order to qualify as a registered HR apprentice, the apprentices must complete the minimum of 144 hours of classroom teaching and obtain 2,000 hours or least one year of on-the-job training experience (Department of Labor, n.d).

During the four-year time frame of the assignment, the apprentices will develop various competencies within all aspects of Human Resources. They will also complete several set tasks and deliverables that may include practical and written assessments (HR Apprentice, 2017). The placements and training will be designed to aid in the development of a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of all aspects of HR.

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.

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.

Five years from now I would like to be living comfortably in my career working in the Human Resources department for In-N-Out Burger. In-N-Out Burger strides on moving associates up in the company, more rarely do they higher outside the company.

The corporate office is only three floors and houses most of the company’s internal management, and staff, as well as business professionals even the owner of the company.

On the first day of class, I learned something critical. It is not always the case that employers should spend significant resources investing in every group of employees. Before this class, my assumption is that this is always the case. However, after spending time pondering this question, I saw that my initial response was grounded in emotion, not facts. There may be cases where companies may have cost-cutting strategies where employees have a lower impact on the company’s mission. Ever since the first day, there have been two themes I have seen in my reflections. First, becoming more self-aware about preconceptions I have on how things should be done. Second, replacing these preconceptions with tools and good HR theory that will allow me to practice Human Resources in a strategic manner.

During the summer of 2015, I obtained an internship at Psychological Associates. I applied for the Organizational Development Intern position during winter break of 2014. After the assessment and interview process, I was given the opportunity to expand my knowledge in the field. Psychological Associates is located in the heart of Clayton, Missouri where I immediately fell in love with the culture and atmosphere of the company. No matter the organization or level of experience from the C-suite to the front line, Psychological Associates ensures companies are selecting suited employees for particular roles through assessing, developing, and guiding employees at all levels. Since I am pursuing a Ph. D degree in Industrial/Organizational Psychology, this experience played a critical role in my overall understanding of the profession and enhanced my skills to complement my education thus far.
