Im interested in becoming a HR Generalist and I am well versed in TA & HR but I get passed on b/c I have 1.7 years of experience. Is it possible to fill in labor laws and employee relations skill gap or would I really need to learn this from experience?

Hi. When you write well versed in HR from what prescriptive or hole? I highly recommend that you obtain the PHR cert. is it possible for you to list the tasks or roles you have been in.

I would recommend listing the names of the systems you have used on your resume!

Hey there, I just joined FishBowl a few minutes ago so happy to give you my input. I obtained my PHR certification in 2010 and have been in HR since but personally, I don't think the certification will make all of the difference in getting you that first HRG role, I would recommend getting an entry-level HR job and working your way up from there since every company handles situations differently. With that said, W+K is hiring a coordinator for the NY office!

People with 1.7 years of experience can be better than people with 25. You can learn all you need to learn, but experience gives you the advantage of being situationally confident to do the right thing.

I’ve hired many people with almost no experience because they were clearly smart and had other experience that indicated they would be fabulous in TA

And you do need more experience

Feeling like we should be spreading more love in days like these - I know we complain about our jobs a ton and it’s easy to do that but I think we should all be proud of how far we’ve come and how much we’ve learned and grown no matter how shitty some days or some coworkers or some clients are ♥️ working in PA helped me gain confidence, courage, and be more resilient. Gives me hope that when I finally get out of it, I’ll be a stronger person overall

Trouble networking virtually;

I started recently, 3 months ago. I am not sure how projects/internal moves work but I was wondering if anyone has advice on networking virtually? I am finding it tricky because I don't know anyone apart from my team & I can't view Talent Marketplace because I am on a billable project, not sure how long it will go.

I enjoy my work and not looking to move just yet, I wanted to see what else is out there and looking for opportunities to network with more people.
