& That's a Wrap!

Thank you to anyone who joined me on my journey this semester in gaining experience within 5 different functional areas (talent acquisition, training and development, benefits/compensation, employee relations, and corporate culture) of HR! This learning opportunity was incredibly unique due to the small size of the Operations department at redpepper, allowing me to take on a wide array of responsibilities pertaining to Human Resources.

I truly feel like I accomplished my goal, and gained a significant amount of research-backed hands-on experience within each functional area, allowing me to understand where I would like my career to take me. Based on experiences during the past 3 months at redpepper, I can comfortably say that I am incredibly interested in continuing my passion for corporate culture (something that I hadn't had tangible experience in previously), and am also very interested in employee relations and training and development, followed by talent acquisition and benefits/compensation. Although I can't say that I disliked these last two categories, they are not something I could see myself doing (on their own) long-term at the moment. This being said, my ideal HR career would incorporate all five of these categories, as I really enjoy diversifying the types of projects that I work on to gain a wide range of experiences as well as always keep myself on my toes.

In the end, I am very grateful for the past 3 months of learning that I have experienced, and am even more excited to begin my career in Human Resources upon graduation!

Talent Acquisition - Pro Tip: PLEASE submit your resume in PDF form.

1 month in and 2.5 months to go, I figured it was time to update everyone on my progress! Almost every week, I've been lucky to be able to work on projects across all 5 functional areas that I identified; it's been interesting to be able to vary my work and get a well-rounded Human Resource Management (HRM) experience right off the bat in my internship. These past two weeks, a lot of my work has focused on what many people think of when they hear the term Human Resources: talent acquisition; therefore, this will be the focus of my first blog post! Of all the categories I identified, I probably have the most experience within talent acquisition. The summer after my sophomore year at Vanderbilt, I got the opportunity to intern for a company called CultureFit, a small IT staffing and recruiting company based out of my hometown in the Chicago suburbs. In this role I got broad exposure to the various facets of recruiting, especially culture-based sourcing and recruiting. However,

Corporate Culture - The Best Organizational Glue

It's hard to believe that the time has come for my final learning share about the fifth functional area of Human Resources that I explored: corporate culture. Although this is often the industry term for this area of HR, redpepper really  dislikes the word "corporate" due to the unique nature (culture!) of the agency, so you will often find me interchangeably using the term "corporate culture" with phrases like "organizational culture" or just "culture." I have long been passionate about corporate culture, or rather the idea of it, but had never gotten hands-on project exposure to it before. Because of this, I was incredibly excited to dip my toes into what organizational culture at a culture-first company like redpepper could look like, to finally confirm (or deny) that this was an area I wanted to focus my career on in the future. To truly learn about corporate culture, I chose to take over the planning for the weekly all-hands Alignment
