Based on responses from another thread. How many ATOTers are HR folks as well?

If you're going to hate on HR, feel free (you won't get a lot of argument from me) but please keep it impersonal to thread participants.
 
I guess you could classify me as someone that works in public relations.

Am I a human resources person? Nope. I don't think I would make it working in HR. 😛

No, Public Relations != HR

HR = Human Resources

Totally different. The only thing that HR would really have in common w/ Public Relations is Recruitment.

<---- HR
 
I'm not in HR but I've only run into two types of persons who work there. Either a sociopath or a very understanding and caring person. 😉
 
Based on initial responses, none of the smart....alecks here will admit they know what you're talking about 🙂

I've always worked at small companies, so HR was just the office manager and I've never had a problem with them.

Yeah, public relations is marketing.
 
So let me ask you this HotChic-

What possessed you to get into HR?

My job kind of "fell on my lap"...fresh out of college, good pay...etc...but now, I feel like I'm "stuck". I'd like to move out of my current-state but it's not like Human Resources is a terribly easy field to get into, ESPECIALLY in a new state where there are different laws to learn and abide to.

I don't think anybody sets out to get into HR, and those that do don't stick around too long. 😉 Mine was more or less an accident - my dad accidentally wound up in recruiting (with a background in music and comp sci) and I helped around the office. The experience landed me my first job and it kind of ballooned from there.

If there's a large company, there are plenty of HR jobs that aren't focused on the legal aspects. If it's a smaller company, you wind up as jack of all trades.
 
how much do HR folks make, I have always wondered, compared to a Senior Engineer in a company, how much would a senior HR person make
