ONET Assignment

Human Resource Specialist performs activities in the Human Resource spectrum. Things that Human Resource Specialists complete on a daily basis are screening future employees, recruit, interview, place workers in positions, and orientate. This past summer, I worked for a local manufacturing company near my hometown as a Human Resource Assistant and in just a few months I learned so much information. After working there the entire summer, I realized this is what I want to do the rest of my life. It’s not just about finding people jobs, but it is also about making an impact on their lives. There are many KSA’s that can be used to describe someone working in Human Resources. Some of the KSA’s and O’s that are used to describe Human Resource Specialist did not surprise or puzzle me at all. All of them were accurate and made sense for the type of position it was describing.
For the KSA’s, K is understood as knowledge. Under knowledge, it talked about clerical work, customer & personal service, personnel & human resources, administration & management, and lastly computers & electronics. Looking more at what is under knowledge, I highlighted what I know I can achieve and know well. Only working for a summer within Human Resources, I learned so much about Personnel and Human Resources. Knowing the principles and procedures for personnel recruitment, selection training, compensation & benefits, labor regulations and negotiation, and personal information systems can only benefit me and make myself a valuable commodity. There is so much more that is under knowledge for Human Resource Specialist that I feel I can benefit from knowing such as the clerical role that attributes to the job and providing customer service.
The next letter of KSA’s stands for Skills. The skills that are highlighted on the ONET Online are speaking, active listening, writing, monitoring, coordination, and judgment and decision-making. Researching all the skills, I went over what my current skills are
