Kim Grieve replied to Mark Fogel's discussion The chicken or the egg? Did you choose HR or did HR choose you?"Catherine, hang in there. I promise it will all be worth it in the end. We have all been through that learning curve and we are all still there as the laws & best practices are continually evolving. What state are you in?"
Teresa Beckta replied to Mark Fogel's discussion The chicken or the egg? Did you choose HR or did HR choose you?"HR choose me! When I graduated high school I did not head off to college like everyone else. I simply wasn't ready and way back then there were not a lot of opportunities for females. Anyway, I joined the U.S. Navy and told the recruiter…"

Did you choose HR or did HR choose you?"I actually chose HR...I had been employed by a start-up company that didn't quite make it off the ground and when I tried to determine what my next steps were I remembered a class in Organizational Behavior that I had taken. I opted to give HR…"

WHAT IF REVISITED
I spent the month of August blogging around the concept of 'What if' exploring the possibilities in both work and Life. I got some great input from the blogging community as well, so I thought I would double back to this concept in open ended thought stream for an occasional visit.
Tonight's one of those "visits"!
One of my favorite interview questions to a prospective candidate is; What if you could do ONE thing over in your… Continue

Sandra Abbey said… - Mark, I visited the University of Phoenix website and clicked on a link that said something about applying to be a faculty member. I sent in my resume with a cover letter and they called me for an interview a couple of weeks later. After the initial interview they hosted an all day assessment center with about 20 potential faculty. After that - they invited a dozen of us to go through a 5-week instructor certification course and to teach our first course along with a mentor. Once that what done I was cleared to teach on my own.
the instructor certification course was unpaid, but the teaching (even with the mentor) was paid. They issue contracts per course, which is pretty interesting.

- Thanks Mark! I'll try to get my creative juices flowing.

- Thanks for the note. Since I tore my ACL (playing soccer, of course) a few years ago, I haven't played much, mostly out of unreasonable fear of having to go through that hellish surgery again. I coached my older daughter for years and will start coaching my 5 yr old next Spring. Based on your Tweets, I can tell your daughter is a great player!
I'm not the jealous type, but I must admit I'm a bit envious that you're going to meet Penelope Trunk. Please let her know she has a big fan in Sacramento. She follows me on Twitter, along with thousands, so probably has no idea who I am. I leave comments on her blog from time to time and hope to get a response from her one day. She just always makes sense to me. Enjoy and please report back on the meeting!
I am considering starting a blog, but get writers block every time I sit down to start it. I follow people like you, Laurie, Rusty Weston, etc. for inspiration. Rusty asked me to write a guest blog weeks ago and I'm still trying to think of ideas...guess it's better to drop the perfectionism and just go for it!
Cheers,
Suzanne

- Oh, and meant to tell you I like your blog! I've been a fan of Penelope Trunk's for a year or so. Her blog on Twitter is what got me started and I've met some great people, HR and others ,via Tweeting. The world is getting smaller every day:)

- Hi Mark,
Glad you know who Man Untd is! None of my other blog friends do! Nice to meet you. I'm following you on Twitter now (my user name is SHiP). Enjoy your Sunday!
