Who Are The People in the Office?

I work, as I have stated in other posts for a large Cleveland company. This company employs thousands of people. It is very renowned. I work in a small yet vital section of the HR department.

Our department is not policy making, however it is important to the functioning of the company.

My supervisor, Andrea has been in that role for about 20 years. I like her, she is very laid back, not in an incompetent way, but more in an observatory role. She guides more than delegates. She leaves the delegation to Fern, our HR administrator.

The administrator sets the work tone for the office. Think of her as an assistant manager in retail terms. She's very nice and teaches well. She doesn't seem to mind the amount of questions you ask. As one of the first people I met when I came in on the first day, she and I clicked. She is very smart and I could see her running the department should Andrea ever decide to leave.

Then there's the other assistant, Cherise. She's been here about six months. Now with her I am sure I will have many stories. As a person she is nice. As a worker she is extremely insecure.

We each have different jobs, but I do believe that I will be a threat for Cherise. Mostly in her own mind.

The News, And Nothing But The News

I have not had a chance to update this blog in over a month and a half. I have very good news. I am now a full time Human Resources Professional. I work for a large publicly traded company in Cleveland.


I found this position by being tenacious and knowing exactly what I want. I had been seeking this kind of position for a little over a year. I reached out to a local talent search company who was willing to place someone with nominal experience in a highly competitive field.


I saw this position and knew this was the one for me.

I LOVE my new job. It is exciting, challenging and above all rewarding. In the coming days and months I will change the focus of this blog to help others like myself transition into HR. I will give accounts of my day on the job and you can watch me grow into a full fledged professional.
