My Objective:
Is to find an entry/mid level, part-time position that requires a
happy, helpful hand, and an efficiently, methodical, organizer. An
example of a job that would best reintroduce me to the new human
resource and employment laws might be a generalist type roll, data
entry, or filing, recruitment, compliance, or any of the myriad of
tasks assigned to a human resource department. I wish to be a member
of a team, not manage one at this time.
