I am a HRd work for a pharmaceutical company and my job responsibility is recruitment. I don’t think HR is a very hard industry for the fresh people who is graduate from university. HR cannot be paid a higher salary. About my first at my work, I remember it’s a very horrible dayd. When I went to my current company, it’s totally different with my previous company. My previous company is a HK company which is belong to a big business group and my recent company is a private ownerd company so the policy is very mixed, is very lake of many policy, so it’s very hard to do my job according to some policy which means I need to finish my job according to my experience. And I need to work for 2 department, 1 is consumerd department, the other is cosmetic department, the y are 2 bu head with 2 total different culture. And I need to arrange 2 different plans for them. This why at my first dayd I want to quit my job, really, because I really don’t like the culture for my recent culture. And I think it’s important for a company to create a orientation for a new staff which they can learn some finance routine, HR policy, or otherd supporting functions policy. They can learn about. If the first impression is good, they will feeld much comfortable, but if not, they will feeld very weird to work in this kind of company. They will adopt their choice… They will think about did they have a right choice or not.

I work for a pharmaceutical company in HR and my job responsibility is recruitment.
I work for a pharmaceutical company in HR and I am responsible for recruitment.

I don’t think HR is a very trendy/popular industry for the new university graduates. HR salaries are usually/normally lower than marketing or sales departments. 

About my first day at my current company, I remember it was a very horrible day. When I first went there, it was totally different from my previous company. My previous company is a HK company which belongs to a big business group and my current place of employment is privately owned. This means there is a lack of policies, therefore, it’s very hard to tell staff which procedures and policies to follow. So,  I often advise them according to my experience.
