QUESTION 12 OF 40

Why did you choose to become a human resources professional?

It's time to communicate why you chose a career in human resources. The interviewer wants you to bring to light how (and why) you started in this career path. Discuss what you love about your work! Display a passion and excitement for your job to help the interviewer become more excited about your candidacy. Talk openly about why you love your career, and be specific. Avoid cliche statements such as 'I love helping people.' You want your answer to be unique and genuine.

"My work in HR allows me to make a difference in the many lives of associates by helping them to grow and improve themselves professionally. I have the opportunity to make genuine, meaningful connections with others every day. I also love that I can become a true partner to the organization with which I am working. I enjoy building teams that I know will lead a company to new heights. This career path is an enriching one for me."
