Should I pursue a career in HR despite being shy and having weak "people" skills?
I'm considering getting my bachelor's degree in human resources. HR appeals to me because I feel that it would be a more "social" job than accounting, and that my career would have a more fulfilling purpose. However, I tend to be somewhat shy and can be overwhelmed by too much social interaction. Also, I feel that my empathy and communication skills are strong enough to be a good HR manager. Are these signs that I should not pursue a career in HR?

What should I choose as a possible career choice?
Hi everyone, For almost two years now, I didn't know what I wanted to study after high school. Nothing really ever called my attention to the point that I knew that was my calling. Now, the time to start applying is coming closer and I feel really lost. I focused on my strengths, and I have two main qualities: 1. I'm very good with people. It's easy for me to remember their names (after just meeting them) , things they like, their qualities, and so on. No matter how extroverted or introverted they are, I will almost always make conversation with them and make them talk and also make them feel welcomed and included. 2. The second one is a little bit different, but I also like to manage things. Maybe this a stupid example, but I always end up being the "mom" of my friend group, I usually will end up deciding where are we going to go, at what time, how much money to bring, transportation, and so on. When I go on vacations, I usually take hours before the begin of it to look all the things I want in the online sites and starting building a budget around it. And I'm very strict with it! And sometimes during the trip I may change my budget to fit with new things I want that I saw after what I planned. I downsize or upsize depending on what's appropriate. I like to be the one in charge of schedule planning and making sure everyone sticks to it. I gave a little bit more detail for all of you guys to maybe help me a little bit better! I was thinking going into HR, but all suggestions of possibles careers are welcomed and needed. So, what should I study?

What opportunities are available for those with degrees in business administration ?
I have graduated from business administration this June and despite my experience in HR and marketing, I still do not know which path I should follow for my future career. I am now thinking about doing my master in data related majors, though, I do not have any experience and I am not sure if I am late to follow data path since I did not take any related courses in my bachelor. I need some guidance about the opportunities that a business administration graduate can catch.

3rd-year student at CSU San Bernardino Major: Business Administration - Human Resources I work as a student assistant for the student success center at the university
San BernardinoI'm getting trash talked at work, what do I do??
(TLDR at the end, but I would recommend you actually read the whole thing.) I'm 15 and I work with some other teenagers so my mom said it was normal im getting trash talked since. yknow. they're teens. But it's not the teens that i'm having a problem with, It's the literal grown adults. I recently had a shift with my coworker Jess (I think she's like 28), my friend who also works there, and another person around jess's age. I work at Zumiez and I was working in the back with the skateboards since I was the only person on shift that actually skated. My friend randomly texted me while she was on break and apparently Jess and the person around her age were trash talking me in the break room and saying this. "She's lazy, she acts like she can just take over the entire store because she knows how to skateboard." Her friend also said "all the teenagers don't do anything" which is ironic because the last time I checked literal high schoolers were running the store that day and her and Jess spent almost all of it in the break room. I have no idea why.. as a 28 year old grown woman you have a problem with a 15 year old just tryna make some money. Anyways, should I report her to HR?? Should I quit?? I'm just really fed up with it since this isn't the first time she's done this. TLDR; My 28 year old coworker and her friend are trash talking me when i'm literally just a 15 year old girl tryna do my job and idk what to even do at this point.

HOW TO STAND OUT FROM A VIDEO INTERVIEW?
For all professionals & students who are reading my post, I thank you for your time and I appreciate any suggestions you share! Please take care of yourself. CONTEXT: Because of COVID, most companies are conducting interviews via video. I found that it's more challenging to leave a good impression ( sometimes the internet connection may not be stable, or due to lack of in-person eye contact & interaction..) What's your suggestions? If you are a recruiter / interviewer, what type of candidates stand out from the interviews and how I can become those candidates that you want to hire immediately? Again, I appreciate your time in advance and all the best to you and your family. It's a challenging time to navigate in a world of uncertainties, so please take time for yourself and stay healthy! #jobs #technology #HR #recruiter #interview #careercoach #career #interviewprep
CalgaryHow to engage more audiences on Linkedin?
To all professionals reading this post, thank you for your precious time! I hope all is well on your end! :) Context: I like to use Linkedin to look for jobs and connect with like-minded people. However, my posts don't usually generate a lot of views. I don't know how LinkedIn algorithm works behind the scene, but I believe there must be some tricks people use to generate traffic (hashtags or tagging influencers) Questions: 1. What are some other useful tips to engage more audiences (or even recruiters) on Linkedin? 2. How to become a content creator ? (some people post about their job searching experience and received over 1k likes & dozens of comments?! jaw-dropping) #linkedin #career #HR #recruiters #technology #algorithm #writer #influencer #contentCreator #strategy #consulting #careeradvice #professionals
CalgaryHow do you overcome imposter syndrome?
As a self-taught web developer, I often wonder whether I am competent enough to apply for web developer jobs that typically require a degree in Computer Science & require 2+ years (or more) of relevant work experiences for junior web developer position. The requirement section in the job post seems to expect A LOT from the candidates. Some front-end developer positions also require candidates to know back-end technology/languages. Some job posts simply list out all the preferred skills they are looking for in a candidate. When I look at the job description, it just seems like I can never meet all of their requirements. Most likely, I only meet 50% ~60% of the requirements. While I'm confident about my ability to pick up things quickly, many companies want to hire experienced people :( 1. What's your career advice? 2. What would you do if you were in my shoes? 3. If you are a Hiring Manager / Engineering Team Lead, how much weight would you put on a candidates' soft skills during the interview? Would soft skills trump the technical skills in your hiring decisions? Candidate A: Technical skills(85%) + soft skills (60%) Candidate B: Technical skills (70%) + soft skills (75%) Thank you for your time to read my post & your willingness to help out a Web Dev Ninja -to-be All the best & Take Care! :)) #JULY20 #career #careerAdvice #technology #coding #interview-prep #impostersyndrome #WebDevelopment #technicalSkills #softSkills #HR #humanresource #jobpost

Career advice for directionless psychology graduate
I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in #psychology and I am looking for a #career-path that will be fulfilling, suit my interests, and not require more than a #master's degree. I'm an introvert, but I am interested in helping/understanding others. I enjoy puzzles, learning, appreciating art, and solving other people's problems. I do not want to be a therapist, though. I've been looking into #healthcare fields such as #nursing and #genetic-counseling, #marketing and #HR, and #school-counseling. I am hesitant about marketing/HR since I do not see myself in a corporate setting, but that will satisfy more of my creative side and I would get to work in a nice office. On the other hand, I could satisfy my curiosity and need to help others in healthcare...without the cushy office and more limited creativity. School counseling would satisfy my need to help others, but not my curiosity. I would love to try these all out, but most require further education. I need to decide what to go back to school for!
