Why join HRA?
Besides taking business courses, what have you done to
prepare yourself for a successful transition from student to professional?
It’s best to start early on career plans, but you can take steps as a junior
or senior to become a professional before you collect your diploma.
Network and learn
How can you become a professional when you devote most of your time to
classes? One step that can take you far is joining relevant
professional societies.
HRA offers membership to SHRM, the Lower Cape Fear Human Resources
Association professional organizations, and the student chapter. We
offer career-oriented activities and give you opportunities to meet
experienced professionals. You can be any major at UNCW and join at any time
during your education. Join soon so you don't miss all of the valuable
information and opportunities we offer like internship and mentoring
programs and competitions that help you learn about the field and build your
portfolio while you’re still in school.
Internships are “almost mandatory” to get entry-level jobs because there are
so many qualified college graduates who want good jobs. HRA sponsors
scholarship and internship programs each year.
We promote internships as the best way to get into the HR field. Our student
chapter hosts practitioner functions, workshops, guest executive speakers and
membership to a national organization —a great asset to your portfolio!
What will help you land your first HR or entry-level job? HRA!
In addition to building industry contacts and portfolios, involvement in
professional societies can get you experience beyond the college campus. Your
participation as an officer in a student organization can also give you
excellent experience in relating to prospective employers during your job
search.
What employers want
Besides internship experience and membership in relevant student
organizations, what will help you land your first job? Those inside tips,
tricks, and first-hand information from professionals who specialize in
hiring, training, and staffing organizations. Our speaker meetings are
designed to bring you the cutting edge information for the current employment
economy.
Informational interviewing, internship experiences, and networking through
participation in professional societies are probably the most effective ways
of making the contacts that can help you find that first job. You should also
read industry publications to learn about job opportunities and trends in the
industry. Often, these magazines and newsletters are published by
professional associations like SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management).
A fabulous first job doesn’t have to be your impossible dream. Start learning
about jobs in your target area early. Seek out internships in your career
area. You’ll be well positioned to land a job and get entry-level experience
that will carry you to the career you’ve hoped for during the past four (or
five) years! HRA will help you accomplish a well-planned and effectively
executed career preparation. We are committed to YOUR career success!
