OK ladies and gents, I've been looking for a new job for quite some time now and I figured I could post on here to see if anyone could give me a heads up. Since I graduated, I have been in the HR field emphasizing on the recruiting aspect of things but would like to go more on the corporate side. I don't mind taking a step down but need to know that there is an option to move up within the company.
And I'm sick of there being a sales portion of the job, so here's my resume and if anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.
