To obtain experience, students should complete an internship at an employment firm or in the human resources department of a company or other organization.
You should have a pleasant personality and enjoy working with people of different levels of education and experience. Much of the day is spent talking to job seekers or prospective employers, either on the phone or in person. You must exercise sensitivity and tact when interviewing potential customers or clients. Good writing and speaking skills are vital, as is attention to detail.
