What words of advice and encouragement would you give to someone just starting out in HR?
When you're just starting out in HR, do 3 things: 1st - Put your head down and get to work. Don't seek recognition, be a self-starter and be a sponge. 2nd - Find your own person "board of directors" (ie mentors). I would find 3-5 people who are experts in different areas under the HR umbrella. Learn all you can, be a sponge. And 3rd - Execute well on everything that crosses your path. Do this with humility and you will quickly see your career flourish!
