Career questions tagged human-resources
Hi, I’m a first-generation college student from a small town, studying computer science at a community college. Growing up, I saw how limited access to technology impacted my community, especially for small businesses and students. I’m passionate about using tech to create solutions that uplift underserved areas, but I’m unsure how to get started while juggling school and part-time work. I want to make a meaningful impact but also need guidance on managing stress and building a career path that aligns with my values? #spring25

What entry level roles should I look for with an associates in business?
Hello everyone!! I am currently a junior majoring in Business admin with a Concentration in HR. I am supposed to graduate next year, but I am severely burnt out and my mental health is declining. I also had other factors in my life happen recently which made things worse. I am receiving therapy and getting help right now. My plan is to find full time employment, take a semester or two off of school and then resume part time college while working full time. That being said, I have an associates in business with a very strong customer service background. What type of entry level roles should I target with that degree? I am also interested in healthcare/social work and other areas of business as well. I would love to gain experience before I go back to school. Let me know any good ideas!! Thank you!
BlacklickFeeling lost and stuck. How do you decide what career path to take when you have no experience?
Hello, I’m 23 years old. I am about to graduate next year with Bachelor’s in Business Admin with an HR concentration. I am a fully remote student and feel this has hindered me in a lot of ways such as networking etc. I picked my major mostly because I wanted to help others and I had aspirations of being a social worker or counselor but they require a masters/license. Being that I was pushed back from graduating 2 years due to surgery and other things, I felt pressured to just pick something and graduate. I am doubting my major. It’s not that I don’t have interest in HR but feel completely disconnected due to lack of experience. I also am more introverted/shy and the thought of new hire orientation/recruiting sounds dreadful to me. Everything just feels off to me. The only other things I can switch my major to would be accounting or marketing and not push me back further. I’ve learned you can get into HR without a major and most people just sort of land into HR. Which I didn’t know prior to picking my major. As well as that, there are absolutely no entry level jobs for HR. It’s super upsetting. I have been attempting to get an Internship with no such luck. They are few and far in between. I’ve made it to final rounds but have been rejected. What I really want to do is be a counselor, social worker or nurse/mri tech etc. I would love to work in something medical/helping others. Nursing would set me back 3 years since it’s a totally different path. Rad tech etc are two year programs with pre reqs. I just don’t want to waste my college credits and hard work but I feel very confused at this point. For instance I have about 116 credits, as I changed my major once before and took courses I didn’t need. I will graduate with 146 credit hours. I will graduate at 24, before I turn 25 and I feel old and have absolutely no experience besides retail/fast food jobs. I was supposed to graduate in 2024, so it is upsetting seeing peers graduate. I want to graduate and gain experience and maybe potentially go back to school one day once I actually experience the world. I need a break from school and can’t imagine pushing myself back or enrolling in another program once I graduate. I’m just scared and unsure of my future. I don’t know how to stand out or what my next move should be. I don’t know if I should continue with this Business Admin degree with a concentration in HR, but I fear it is what I mostly align with other than Nursing and such. I don’t even feel confident in saying this is my major because I lost all passion/motivation due to rejects of internships. Being an online student, I also know no one else who went to college. All of my friends are mostly in trades. Do you have advice? I’m feeling lost and struggling a lot.

Palo AltoShould 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?

I have an upcoming interview for an HR internship. How should I best prepare and what should I make sure to mention/not mention?
I'm interested in pursuing a career in IO psychology/Organizational psychology but have had no luck finding internships relating to those specific fields. I think HR is very interesting but not entirely sure if it's what I want to do, so I'm nervous about not sounding prepared for my interview or not having a good enough background.

How do you work as a team?
As a student I often find myself struggling when working in groups because I enjoy having control over my work. What approach should I take to working with team mates? More fittingly I suppose I have different ideas about a specific task from my team mates. Consequently I spend a decent portion of time trying to work out a compromise between our ideas than actually making progress on the task at hand.
