Human Resource Clerk Careers

Ideal for

“If you wanted a group holiday organised, a project manager for group assignments or help with party planning – I am that person! I live by schedules, to do-lists and structure so that every detail, even the smallest, is addressed. You can call me the ‘behind-the-scenes’ person. I'm the oil in the machine, making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently. Some people find administration boring but I love it and excel at making things happen! Honey bees love details and get things done, which I think is pretty cool.”

“I care a lot; it’s kind of my thing. You can lean on me "I’m great at listening and solving my friends’ problems! I honestly enjoy helping others improve their lives, whether this is physically, emotionally, even medically! Being there for others excites and motivates me to use these skills in whatever career path I will choose. Carers are kind of like pandas: caring animals who support their friends and family."”
