Currently I am in school to obtain my HR Generalist Certificate. I have 8 years experience as retail store manager where I responsible for all hiring needs by recruiting, interviewing, and training. I also did performance appraisals, progressive counseling, and terminations. I also worked for 5 years as an office manager where I also did the above duties. I currently work for a large retailer where I process their payroll. I applied for a position as an HR Assistant there and after having 2 interviews and being told by my boss that it was a done deal and the job was mine, I was told I did not get it. What does it take to break into this industry? I thought I had enough experience for an entry level position such as an assistant. Can anyone assist me with what I should do. I'm staying in my current position only for the tuition reimbursement but I have thought of looking but I'm a little discouraged. And advice?
