I was a training manager for about 7 years in 2 different companies. I trained people on software for about a year then I spent 6 years as a training/sales manager for a very small retail/wholesale company. I trained people on customer service, products and visual merchandising. It was a very rewarding experience and I would like to pursue further as an HR professional. I have a master degree in Marketing.


What would be the best entry level jobs for me to apply to in order to join an HR service?

I frequently see training coordinator and manager positions asking for operational experience in sales training. I also occasionally see HR Generalist type positions asking for operational sales experience. perhaps you could focus on those.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
