    Default Starting off position advice

    Hi,
    I wanted to see if anyone can help me out. I am about to start my cert 4 in HR and am not sure on what job would be best to help me start my career. I currently am a retail store manager but am not sure if there is a better position that would help my HR career in the future.
    Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    Default Start-up job

    Hi Jess
    My advice is to look for a mainstream job, that is one within an organisation (probably a medium to large company or institution) that has a serious HR/ER function, and where you can get a "starters job" in recruiting, services (pay and conditions), training, ER or OH&S, or just as a general "dogsbody", and have the possibility of moving around a bit, or just observing the range of HR/ER functions. If you can get something in a retail organisation where your previous background will give you a bit of an edge, then so much the better. Try to stay away from employment agencies where your work will be limited and performance will be judged on your "sales" rather than your developed HR skills. Good luck.
    Cheers
    Steve
