"As you can see from my resume, my career in HR has been centered around the customer service and retail industries, and I fully realize that this opportunity will have me working with clients in several industries. As an active member of SHRM and a regular attendee of local and national HR conferences, I have built a great network of colleagues across many industries that I could use as a resource to get me up to speed in a new industry like manufacturing. I also subscribe and have been a contributor to HR Magazine, and I know that will be a great resource as well as I look to learn and grow in new industries in this role."

"With my experience in the healthcare and mining industries on the east coast, I feel like I would come to DDI with a well-rounded knowledge and experience base to succeed in this role from the start. Knowing I would have to be a continual learner in this role, I would jump at any opportunity to continue my education to stay on top of new happenings in the HR field. Up to this point in my career, continuing education credits have been vital to helping me gain more knowledge that I've used on the job."
