Yes, I'm changing careers. My first job after graduation was HR, and now I have to change careers completely.
What is the work of human resource management under the pre-science popularization? Human resources (HR), namely personnel, mainly includes six modules: human resources planning, recruitment, training, performance, salary and labor relations.
I wonder what your first impression of HR is?
I'm not majoring in this major. I don't even know what I want to do when I graduate soon. At that time, I was most confused not that I couldn't find a job, but that I didn't know which job I would choose. In my impression, the closest thing to "finding a job" should be HR.
So I entered the business mainly because I was confused and wanted to find my future lifelong career through this job.
Besides, this job just meets my personal expectations. You can communicate with different people every day, broaden your horizons, be glamorous, and be respected by candidates. I think many friends who want to enter the business also think so, right? )
At that time, the interviewer (HR) was a very tall career in my eyes (from the perspective of students). I didn't know anything about this line at that time, and I thought it should be difficult to enter HR!
In order to pass the interview, I learned to make a resume that HR likes to read, and also bought some books to learn about human resources. Well, it's really hard. I don't know much about various technical terms (for a science and engineering student). Read some work practice books written by HR director, I don't understand them at all, let alone understand them.
I don't even have much experience in a formal workplace. Four years of college, either make money, or take the postgraduate entrance examination to study and fall in love. It is my great regret that I didn't go to the society for more experience and trial and error during my school days.
Last semester of senior year, everyone was busy with graduation project and tripartite agreement. The school held several lectures to explain the "three parties" and labor law to graduates, but I didn't understand.
Yes, it is such a small white who has no social experience, no professional foundation and no knowledge of labor law, and finally applied for HR.
Really verified the sentence "anyone can do HR" After joining the company, I found that there are few professionals in the recruitment team composed of more than a dozen HR.

But the process of my cross-bank job search is not very smooth. At that time, I interviewed a lot of human resources specialist positions, only to know that many companies are not called HR, but directly called personnel or recruiters.
When I brush the company, I see more HR in the direction of "recruitment" and little demand for "performance" and "salary". 100 At least 90 people in human resources are engaged in recruitment.
Of course, there are also many recruiters who combine performance and salary. The staff of small companies are basically all-inclusive, and then the rest of the simple work is handed over to assistants, such as attendance, social security provident fund, telephone invitation and so on.
I also met two different recruitment HR in the interview. One is HR who earns commission by recruiting people, and the other is HR who has no commission. The HR with commission is generally 2500 ~ 3500 basic salary, and it costs 50 ~ 100 yuan to recruit a person.
My previous interview was full of holes. Fortunately, I was finally hired by a good company, and there was no such pressure of commission.
The leaders of the human resources department interviewed me, mainly to examine my motivation, interest, some basic communication and expression skills, coordination skills, pressure resistance, and of course a little professional knowledge. take for example
"What are the six modules of human resources? Why do you want to recruit? What do you think of this job? How do you invite candidates to the interview? How do you judge whether this person is suitable or not? "
Before that, I had accumulated interview experience in more than a dozen companies, so the interview process was fairly easy and smooth.
I think they hired me because they saw my passion for HR!
Speaking of enthusiasm, the first three months are a state of "I love my job and my job loves me". I take the initiative to work overtime and go to work, and my colleagues have never refused my request. Finally, when I officially graduated, I directly changed from an intern to a full member.
03
In those three months, I learned a lot of new things every day, such as communicating needs, inviting interviews, screening resumes, operating recruitment websites, interviewing, backing up, joining the job process, sending official WeChat accounts, writing internal magazines, being familiar with the company structure and various rules and regulations, and being familiar with labor law and social security provident fund. In the meantime, I plan to take a few certificates and gild myself.
Slowly, the troubles of this job will be revealed. The more familiar you are with this job, the faster you will reach the bottleneck. If no one helps, it is easy to doubt your own value and finally change careers completely.
Before entering the business, a friend of my relative also worked in human resources. He graduated from a prestigious school, worked in a state-owned enterprise for five years, and finally switched to selling insurance. When he heard that I was going to be HR, he tried to dissuade me.
I stubbornly want to gamble, and I don't look back until I hit the south wall. Finally, practice proved that he was right.
In my short HR career, I have had the idea of changing careers countless times. If it weren't for layoffs, I wouldn't have the courage to take this step now.
(1) Doing this job is a test of my values, saying and doing things against my will. More often, I think from the perspective of workers, but this runs counter to the mission of "serving the enterprise".
For example, the company will definitely depress the salary of the candidates. Every time I talk about salary, I am embarrassed to give people such a low salary. I clearly remember an undergraduate who graduated for three years. The leader said that her salary is only 4500 now, so I will give it to her according to this number. I was very entangled in my heart, and finally helped her talk to the leader for 300 yuan more.
Obviously, I can't help everyone, and I know the company's intentions. But I can't identify and understand from the heart. Many times, I am playing the role of a "bad guy" and a "tool of the ruler".
I have also met many leaders, who dismiss employees directly if they don't like it, without any compensation (such as irregular behavior). Of course, HR is required to do it.
Even when I was laid off, the company was malicious to me. Although the result is that both sides meet each other half way, it still makes me want to denounce. If you are interested, please see the article on my home page)
(2) To be an HR, I am talking about junior HR, and the HR recruited should be no different from a customer service.
I am in an internet company, and the commonly used recruitment websites are Zhilian, Worry-Free Future, Boss, Lagou, Hunting and Internal Promotion. However, in recent years, online communication recruitment methods have begun to rise, and our recruitment sources is more of a boss.
Checking the boss is much more troublesome than checking the resume in the inbox. Open 99+ messages every day, want to reply one by one, read the introduction, ask for a resume, and reply with your mobile phone while eating when you are busy. Typing and online communication are not as efficient as telephone communication. If I don't reply or even be indifferent, I will be scolded and complained by the candidates in the dark. Therefore, affinity has become my standard since then.
(3) After doing HR, I realized that communication between people was so difficult. Foreign recruitment is ok, nothing more than telephone invitation, interview communication, salary negotiation and company introduction. Over time, a standard model has been formed. And internal communication sometimes means working hard and in vain.
What pot to carry? If an employee has any questions, it's not that he didn't ask, but that HR didn't say. League building is not fun, training can't learn anything, leading employees blame you, and the high turnover rate also blames you.
In addition to recruitment, I also have to take care of corporate culture and labor relations, such as going in and out, writing tweets, making posters and writing internal magazines. Tweets and internal magazines, we often have to change dozens of times, and finally they are completely rejected or not used because of a sentence from the above leaders. I feel that all my work has been done in vain, and I am particularly tired, and my efforts are not rewarded and my efforts are not affirmed.
(4) Without the right to speak, personal existence is weak and has no influence. All your plans were in vain, and finally the leader had the final say (according to her preferences); Your words and deeds should be recognized, and you should always be cautious at home and abroad to maintain the company's image. To put it simply, he is a tool man without feelings.
Always pay attention to employee dynamics, keep a certain distance and keep secrets. When employees spit out the company, we can't participate, we can only comfort. In fact, we are worse than them. Nobody cares about our interests, including myself. I can't fight for my rights. I talk more about "sacrifice" and "dedication". Only when you see that all the employees you recruit are happy to work in this company will you have a little sense of value.
(5) More often it is frustration. Seeing that the employees they recruited leave their jobs, they will feel very lost and fail to help the company find a suitable and long-term labor force; I feel guilty that I can't help my employees find jobs that suit me. I'm afraid they will be delayed.
(6) This job makes me feel less and less valuable. After four or five months of employment, I feel that my growth has stagnated. At first, I was glad that I had done my favorite job, and I was very proud and happy. Later, I became more and more afraid to tell others that I was HR.
What does HR mean in the eyes of others? Low salary, odd jobs, idleness, difficulty in promotion, and ignorance of business and technology. The more you know about this industry, the more you have a sense of crisis.
When it comes to interviews, the leaders of the employing department know more about business and people better than I do. Speaking of interview skills, I don't believe that anyone can see through another person in just ten minutes, and I don't believe that the interviewer didn't miss anyone? Even if it was recruited by a professional human resources manager, it was not suitable and left within a few days. Their turnover rate is as high as ours, but they do recruit people faster.
(7) I often wonder what I can do if I don't do HR? I'm afraid I can't do anything but customer service. Everything is done without a proficient skill and in-depth business. The career of tiger balm is always being rushed to do, and its technical content is also very low.
I am also worried that if I work for a few more years, my salary is estimated to be hovering between 4-6k! The growth rate is extremely slow, there is little room for development, and it is even more difficult to transfer jobs internally.
In more than a dozen HR recruitment teams, except the supervisor, everyone is doing the same thing and repeating the same work every day. What is the core competitiveness to have the last laugh? At first, I thought I could communicate with different people. In fact, I just kept repeating a few questions to greet the candidates, and then kept answering the information, business and products of the companies that the candidates had said were bad.
This sense of fatigue has exhausted me, and I am unwilling to further learn industry knowledge and continue to engage in such work. After this idea came into being, I was already quietly preparing to change careers.
However, being HR is not without its merits. For example, being familiar with the labor law is not afraid of being pitted; For example, I know how to calculate wages, social security provident fund, training, league building, quickly understand the workplace, adapt to the workplace, understand the inside story of many companies managing talents, and understand the situation of the talent market.
For me, the biggest advantage for me is that it gives me more buffer time to study more work, to explore my interests and to know where my value lies. Although this year's experience was unsuccessful, it also made me mature a lot quickly and have the thinking of people in the workplace.
Besides, I can't think of any reason to attract me to continue doing it. In short, this is a job that makes me more and more confused, but fortunately I changed careers.
At the moment I stepped out, I didn't know what the next stop would be, but it shouldn't be worse.
