Job Responsibilities
I spend the majority of my time and both strategic (80%) and
tactical (20%) on HR related issues such as benefits, recruiting,
strategic management, employee development, human resource
development, and employee relations. Other duties include safety
and health.

Job Requirements
I pursued a course of study at Bowling Green State University,
where I obtained my BSBA in Business Administration. My major was
health care administration, with a focus on personnel management.
I would say that my course of study was demanding, that I was
typically able to obtain the classes and professors that I
requested. I felt that all grading was fair, and I felt that the
workload assigned was never unbearable.

Uppers
I enjoy interviewing and making job offers to candidates. I also enjoy training
and development. I enjoy the ability to interact with others in a training on
consultative setting. I am driven to help and see people be successful. Failure
is not an option. I also enjoy the analytical aspects of my job in developing
metrics, creating reports, and interpreting data.
|
Downers
I don't enjoy disciplining, counseling, or terminating employees.
It is the least favorite part of my job. However, I also strive to
turn negative situations into positive situations while obtaining
the cooperation and trust of the employee.
|
Lifestyle
I work typically 45-50 hours per week. I travel to satellite offices 10% of the
time. We are diversity driven, and we also have a business casual work
environment. The company is very concerned about a good balance between personal
and professional lifestyles. We want to see our people succeed, and we empower
and encourage our employees to be successful.
|
Compensation
I receive $47,000 a year, plus a 10% bonus potential paid
quarterly. We have a comprehensive and competitive benefit package
that includes medical, dental, life, 401(k), STD, LTD, FSA,
tuition reimbursement, health club reimbursement, among others.
Our pay is very competitive within our market.

Advice to Jobseekers
I think the job outlook for these positions in the future is going
to become more competitive. Prepare as much as possible for your
career in this field. Obtain valuable internship and co-op
experience. Develop your core competencies, and consider
professional certification. Get involved with professional
associations and organizations.
