I choose to interview her because I work in housing and I was able to get in contact with her fairly easily. I also hope to work in the field of Management and Human resources, so I wanted to interview someone in that field to get a sense of what the career entails.

Jennifer also informed me that the role of HR is constantly changing, and the old stereotypes of HR being the ‘sticklers’ or the ‘mean people’ is slowly changing. Human resources’ job is to follow and enforce the rules of the government and corporation, and that’s why they were always portrayed negatively.
