#9: Interview with Dean Lemphers Part 1

In this episode, Melanie has a wonderful conversation with a former student and TRU HR graduate who recently secured his first HR role. Dean Lemphers graduated in the spring of 2020 with a BBA with a major in Human Resource Management. This episode is part one of our conversation and in it, he shares the key factors that made him successful in securing his first HR job just months after graduation.

 

Here is a summary of Dean's advice:

1. Be willing to put yourself out there.
2. Connect with as many people as possible
3. Conduct informational interviews
4. Don't be afraid to ask
