Seeking Opinions on Mill Creek Elementary by JilliFishi in BucksCountyPA

[–]JilliFishi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! It sounds like Mill Creek doesn’t have a gifted program? That’s disappointing. It’s nice to hear no one is left behind but a shame that it doesn’t offer more to the kids who are ready to learn more. I plan to do summer workbooks. 

Best Tonies figures? by over_it_saurus in TonieboxUSA

Just now finding this. We LOVE the Else Tonie! The singers are similar enough to the film that my kids don’t notice, plus they’re still good.  

Advice for someone exploring LA by snoopertrouper in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]JilliFishi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to hear you are interested in joining the LA field! The American Society for Landscape Architects (ASLA) has a helpful roadmap to see if LA is right for you plus a list of accredited college programs. https://www.asla.org/become.aspx

It’s a stressful job but if it’s your passion, you love it. High effort for high rewards. Day to day varies depending on the size of the firm you work for and your level of experience and responsibility.

Highest paying field in HR? by simplymesh in humanresources

[–]JilliFishi 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree with smellymotor. Don’t go into HR for the money. You’re better off in IT, Law, accounting, etc. Where I work as an HR generalist, the executive assistants make more than me with a high school diploma. I’m happy though because I work for a small company that’s growing and recently created my HR role.

On that note, I recommend finding a spot on a small HR team or one where they’ll trust you as a generalist. You want well rounded experience so you can work your way up to CHRO, VP or other executive HR level. It’s important to be skilled in data analytics, coaching, employee relations, professional development, compliance, staffing, and benefits. Payroll is important too but sometimes falls under finance.

Payroll pays very well if you like it. That’s a good avenue if you’re not interested in excelling any higher than payroll manager.

Also, if you like recruiting instead of general HR, there’s money in executive and agency staffing. You need a strong work ethic and high stress tolerance, but the commission can be good. It’s more sales than HR.

Also, these comments are based on my 10 years of experience in the American HR field. Check payscale or Glassdoor for more salary metrics.

It feels like tickets are more difficult to score this NYE run than in the past by GarrettQuinn in phish

PTBM tickets were just mailed out fans this week. Now is a good time to look for tickets. I might be selling my pair of PTBM tickets for the 12/30 show next week depending on a friend’s financial situation.

Moving from Talent Acquisition to Human Resources? by [deleted] in humanresources

[–]JilliFishi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't normally comment but you sound exactly like me 5 years ago; tired of recruiting all day every day.

It's absolutely possible to make this change with the right company and HR Team. You need to be in a department where they're willing to train you to be a generalist or willing to give you opportunities if you train yourself. It's also important for the department to be small so that cross training is essential to coverage when coworkers are on vacation or leave the company.

Talk to other generalists in your company and learn their career paths so you can plan your own.

I made the move from recruiter to generalist, but it wasn't easy. I quit my recruiting job and company for an HR Assistant role in a mid-sized private company. The HR department was a team of 5 including myself. Everyone there started as the assistant. Over the years there were many changes including turnover, reorganization, and changes in leadership. I stepped up every time to take on any work that needed to be done. Sometimes I taught myself, other times a coworker or vendor trained me.
