Personal Career Development

In five (5) years I see my career as a retail human resources management position. I feel that in order to be a successful human resources manager, you have to know your inner strengths. I know that I can work with a wide variety of employees, no matter the age or experience that they bring with them. Being able to adapt to different teaching methods to benefit the employee and insure their success in the company is critical. Already having a background in training and being so trained on the position when I started, allows me to understand both aspects of training and being a trainer. Being a good human resource manager means being a good listener and an open-minded leader within and organization.

My future company should be able to offer just as much training on human resource management as the employees are offered. Continuing to learn new and creative ways to motivate employees as well as motivating human resource managers lets the entire team know that we are all after the same results. Having a successful career in a company that invests in their employee’s success, no matter what position they hold.

I would like to believe that my future company has career development opportunities for my needs. Having the abilities to offer continuous training throughout my duration of employment to continue to learn and grow as an individual and a valuable asset to the company.
