As I reflect on the integral role of human resources, I realize
its importance and appreciate the work they do.
My only interaction with human resources early in my career was when I would
apply for various jobs and never get call backs for interviews. This was extremely discouraging and I would
think that the human resources staff at the different organizations didn’t
really read my application. While
reading the first few chapters of this course, I understand the need for rigorous
screening of all applicants. I realize
that often I would blindly apply for positions if I meet at least one criterion. Recruitment and screening helps identify the
most qualified candidates and during the interview process they are able to
select the best fit for the position. As
other young college graduates start applying for jobs, they should understand
that if they don’t receive a call back from an organization, does not mean they
are unsuccessful, they should use the denial of interview as a way to reflect
on their skills and find an organization that is a better match. I’m looking forward to this course and
learning how human resources is really the backbone of an organization.
