Through my blog, I share real stories, practical advice, and unfiltered insights to help you build confidence, grow your career, and lead with purpose without losing who you are in the process.

Human Resources is the department which greatly influences a decision for employment on applicants to a role, even outside contractor services. I have a few tips that should be considered when starting any career or endeavor. Whether you are looking to start employment with an organization or setting up your own business – one thing does matter over the others initially.
And that would be the industry that you choose to establish yourself in, there are so many options to explore, but it is vital to choose the best one for you! A few online articles suggest that a high number of individuals, including myself, land into companies for specific industries by complete surprise.
Society does not spend any time or hardly discuss planning or thought into the structure of the existing areas of companies. Believe it or not, choosing the right industry for your present or future situation can be ideal with planning and strong considerations. I strongly believe that many employees are unhappy in their roles and not due to the work, but the industry which they are involved in.
Here are a few thoughts I would suggest to look into before starting your career. (And I can add that you are able to change at any time but there can be sacrifices if you are too far into one over the others.)
An important effort to explore for the right or best industry would be to gain internships to get an entry level overview or if that option is not available, NETWORKING IS KEY! Find others with experience in the industry which interests you the most.
Healthcare is definitely one of the largest industries globally along with education following after. Others do include banking, construction, manufacturing, and the list goes on with continuous growth as innovation of products and services occurs.
Whatever area you choose to focus in, make sure to not get complacent and determine your true passion! If you need help determining how or where to get started, make the change, or simply confirm you have correctly found the best match for you – evaluate your skills and weaknesses. YOU COULD EMPLOY A CAREER COACH like HR Mami to assist you in the right direction!
Remember that dreams do not work unless you do, it is important to reach your goals, be happy, and be satisfied with your industry choice to make the greatest impact on your family plus society!
