The Employment Department and Human Resources

I worked for the Oregon Employment Department in North Bend, Oregon while I went to college serving the Veterans looking for work. Matching job seekers to employers is quite a rush. I feel that same rush when performing my Human Resource responsibilities at work today. I get to see so many applicants, and hear their needs. It is very satisfying to match them to fill a company need. I would definitely say my favorite part of my current job is in creating manpower plans, schedules, staffing and staff development. I enjoy finding ways to boost morale. I have been known to create things at home with my family and bring them into to work to say "thanks". Ornaments at Christmas, Cards on Heart Day. My favorite has been the life savers. I like to keep a few individually wrapped lifesavers in my desk to take out and walk the floor and give to employees. When they know that I appreciate their efforts, it helps them to give more - and helps with employee retention. I am constantly looking for simple ways to honestly praise employees and to urge them on to better their best performance.

I would be interested in any Human Resources or Operations positions that my become available.
