As a human resources coordinator, your job starts right with employee recruitment through the time they are employees at the company. With overseeing not only current staff but recruiting future employees, a human resources coordinator must be adaptable and a great judge of character. Since they deal with employees on many different levels, every single day will look different, meaning the daily projects and tasks will vary. For example, one day you might be helping an employee navigate their health insurance and the next day you may be dealing with the effects of a new regulation. If you are someone who thrives off a diverse scope of work, a career as a human resources coordinator would be a great choice.
Not everyone gets to work for a company or an environment they love, but with a position in human resources, you have the opportunity to really work anywhere and in any industry. Most companies, if not all, have some sort of human resources department. It’s a very important aspect to a company and is one of the main ways companies stay in business. For example, if you are interested in fashion, you can work as a human resources coordinator for a fashion company, and the same goes for a sports team, a hospital, etc.
If you are someone who can’t help but fix a problem when they see it – choosing a career as a human resources coordinator may be a great choice for you. As a human resources coordinator, many different issues can arise daily. Sometimes, it can be as little as picking up on something with an interview candidate, or something larger like spotting a serious problem between employees in the workplace, but regardless of the issue, it is up to the human resources coordinator (and their team) to come up with a plan of action. If you are someone who thrives off of sorting out kinks and problems even before they arise, a career in human resources would be extremely gratifying.
Anyone who is considering a job as a human resources coordinator has to be someone who enjoys working with people every single day. If this sounds like you, this may be another indicator a career in human resources is right for you. Whether it’s conducting interviews, training sessions, answering internal questions or disputes, there will always be some sort of daily human interaction in your job. If you thrive working with others, you will find many reasons to love your job.
