In addition to being a member of the Society for Human Resource Management, I also contribute to several online business publications, which requires me to do a large amount of research on my own time to uncover new development and trends in the talent acquisition industry. I also attend industry conferences and participate in the SHRM’s seminars and workshops as often as possible. In such a fast-moving industry, I know it is vital that I keep my skills current, which is why I make sure I’m always on the edge of new industry trends.
