This session was the most important session for me as it allowed me to think carefully which field I would like to pursue after my graduation. Before we all started, we were told that the research period would last up to 3 weeks providing us enough time to research on the field which might interest us the most.
We were given four choices in which we can research on, which were HR Jobs, Marketing, Finance and Management. By giving these choices it enabled me to choose which career path I want to go to. I find it to be really useful as I always wanted to work as an HR Manager but didn’t really know if I could work once I am graduated. So this really helped as it made me realise that studying business would not only give me a single option to work for but also have several other options as well.
Then I spent most of the session researching and finding out more information about HR where I came across this website which I found to be very useful (HR website). By looking at this website it gave me more insight knowledge about the field, what experience, skills, qualification is needed to work in that field and also what training and opportunity is there that can be beneficial for me to get in that field.
I also came across another website that I found to be very useful as it shows the different career path that HR has and also talks about what each path is responsible to do (Career Path). This improved my understanding and knowledge and also allowed me to know exactly what path I want to go to.
I than looked at various job sites within the field and started researching on Job Advertisement especially into Job Descriptions and Person Specification that a graduate student need in order to get in the field. This made me realise that whenever I look at the Job Adverts, I need to look for the Job Description and also at the Job Specification in order to ensure that the job is suitable for me.
