Question: In 2017, I was offered a job to be the staffing coordinator at a previous job in a nursing facility. I declined the job three times, because not only was I afraid of rejection, but I also did not think I was a people person. My Director of Nursing came to me and said, "Kim, you can do it, I will help you". The fourth time I was asked, I said OK I will accept the job. To make a long story short, I took that job and embraced it, the job came with long hours and dediction, because we just did not have the staff to provide care for the residents. During my seven years of being the staffing coordinator, I learned that I actually was a people person, I learned how to keep my staff files confidential and I also build a relationship with every staff member there. I was promoted to payroll coordinator and within a month of me being the payroll coordinator, I was promoted to intern director of human resources. I enjoyed human resources so much that I decided to go back to school and earn my degree.
