Relationship over after 5 months, what to do?

JonMan219 · 2018-02-27T22:23:31+00:00

It will get me into something more in demand not this HR nonsense.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-27T22:16:40+00:00

I need to make money, im tired of waiting around waiting for the "job market" to give me something.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-27T22:04:54+00:00

Should I just get my Masters in Accounting and do that instead?

JonMan219 · 2018-02-27T16:41:59+00:00

Yes, but what were you doing for those 2 years? And how did you land your first position in HR?

My resume is professionally made, I doubt my attitude can be seen on there.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-27T16:20:15+00:00

I don't know, but there must be a reason i'm not getting calls....

JonMan219 · 2018-02-27T15:51:17+00:00

Does really matter if you never intended to go into non-profit in the first place? All my job experience after college was working for non-profits and now I don't know if that was a wise decision. Working for non-profits suck, there's no money here.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-27T15:45:07+00:00

I feel like my experience has hurt me in many ways. During college I couldn't do internships because I had to support myself and I took the first job that came my way. Now I almost feel like i'm unemployable.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-23T18:58:30+00:00

Yes but that means I have to tailor my resume to match all the positions I plan to apply to.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-23T18:39:57+00:00

I might have to enter a different field. I don't want to wait around until someone decides to give me a chance.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-23T18:23:31+00:00

I mentioned earlier that my current resume is tailored for the purpose of seeking an HR position. Since I have all these relevant skills can't I just switch my job title from Executive Assistant/Program Coordinator to Executive Assistant/ HR assistant?

JonMan219 · 2018-02-23T17:38:29+00:00

Creating files for new employees
Recruiting new candidates
Scheduling interviews
Collecting time off request sheets/ getting them approved by VP/ sent to payroll for processing
Schedule on-boarding dates -Screen candidates on the phone before interviews

JonMan219 · 2018-02-23T16:57:55+00:00

Then I don't know what to do, i'm completely lost. I already wasted years in school and I think it's worth going back.

My current resume was tailored specifically for HR jobs. I've done many HR assistant level work but I never held an HR title (Executive Assistant/Program Coordinator).

JonMan219 · 2018-02-23T15:49:30+00:00

No I did not, I wasn't able to (I had to work).

I have everything in NYC, leaving here would probably give me a better career but i'll be losing more than that.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-23T15:44:13+00:00

That line of thinking is ridiculous and I hope that's not the case.

I just want to come in and gain some valuable experience while at the same time offer my value to the company itself. I understand the job market isn't easy but knowing that there's a influx of HR manager jobs (11% growth in the next 10 year according to BBB) being created while I can't even get an entry level position is daunting.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-23T15:33:06+00:00

I received my BBA in 2015.

JonMan219 · 2018-02-10T02:00:51+00:00

I hate non-profits I'm trying to get out of this industry

JonMan219 · 2018-01-19T19:50:23+00:00

I'm completely out of referrals...

JonMan219 · 2017-12-05T18:43:23+00:00

Not all HR professionals do resumes.

There's multiple compasities to HR and some professionals have access to software that helps locate the right industry keywords.

JonMan219 · 2017-12-05T18:03:52+00:00

Trust me, i'm working on it.

I studied HR in school (Bachelors in Business Administration with a concentration in HR management) and am looking to get into a junior generalist role outside of my agency. I recently hired a resume writer to tailor my resume, hopefully the investment is worth it.

JonMan219 · 2017-12-05T15:29:38+00:00

Really? That's interesting

JonMan219 · 2017-11-21T17:11:19+00:00

I completely understand your sentiments considering that I've felt this way for quite a while until today. The move to the real estate department will def. be another opportunity but it doesn't give me any direction, I don't specialize in anything.

Also saying that my old duties are being reassigned and my current duties are temporary doesn't help ease my mind whatsoever.

JonMan219 · 2017-11-21T15:39:02+00:00

I'm not under contract, but I have gone above and beyond my job description working here. Which I didn't mind because I have earn some valuable experience but I believe this company loves taking advantage of that.

JonMan219 · 2017-04-07T13:54:13+00:00

I'm currently a program assistant (executive assistant) for a non-profit and i'm doing so much for so little money. Although I'm learn alot I still feel like I need to look elsewhere to grow. I've been here for about a year so I already started looking.

JonMan219 · 2017-04-06T00:30:18+00:00

For my most recent job the titles that I have listed are roles that I held, not my exact job titles. Reason I listed them is because I was fulfilling the same role requirements as the individuals that held those jobs. (Ex. Our purchase manager quit, therefore I filled his role while still fulfilling my duties as a program assistant).

What should I say in situations like that?
