Hi everyone! I recently had an Interview with a transportation company (logistics) for a HR/Recruiter position. The president of the company interviewed me and let me know that I would be the sole person in charge of recruitment, onboarding, payroll, employee relations (and compliance), marketing, and potentially event planning for employee retention purposes. Should I be alarmed or is this normal to an extent ? This would be the first time I work in HR so I feel a bit overwhelmed.

HR is often the catch-all, so this mindset does not surprise me at all. However, certainly overwhelming for someone new to the field. How many locations/employees? Do you think it’s manageable while learning from the ground up? A bit worrisome that he’s ok with relying on “searching things up”… Is he willing to invest in continuing education for you and outside counsel if needed?

That sounds like multiple roles in one. I would clarify scope, priorities, and resources before accepting. Being a department of one can be empowering, but only if expectations are realistic.

Pt 2. When I asked who would essentially train me they told me he (the president) would and that he believes there is nothing you can’t search up. (Lol)

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Hi Fishes,

But they told that they can send the revised offer letter 3 weeks before the joining date.
Is this normal process? Has anyone gone through similar experience?

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.
