Making a Career Transition

Since I am interested in changing career paths, I have been inspired by three people who have experience in the career field I want to make a career pivot to. They gave me advice about networking and building relationships instead of applying for jobs online. I learned that 85% of the job market is hidden. I found this statistic to be interesting because prior to 2018, I never knew that a portion of job market was hidden and that solely applying for employment online is ineffective.

Hello Jemia. I am interested in making a career pivot to the Human Resources profession. I have career interests in campus recruiting and employee training and development. As an aspiring HR professional, I also want to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
