Buy essay on Human Resource Management in Runaway Youth Shelter

My experience of work in the Runaway Youth Shelter, Texas contributed consistently to the improvement of my professional skills and broadened my eyesight. As the matter of fact, it was a hard job to do but, on the other hand, it was really interesting for me to acquire new experience. I hold the position of the assistant of human resource manager and, in the course of my internship, I learned to recruit the personnel for the work with the youth.
When I have just started working at my position in the Runaway Youth Shelter, I did not think of specificities of recruitment of the personnel for the Runaway Youth Shelter. Instead, I stood on the ground that my basic professional skills are sufficient to identify the best candidates and employ them in the shelter (Solomon & George, 1999). Therefore, at first, I paid a lot of attention to the education of recruits and their professional background, including experience and the position they hold in organizations before. However, in the course of my work I understood that I have to develop my analytical skills to find out professionals capable to worth with children and adolescents, who have escaped from their homes (Piaget, 1992). In this regard, I focused on recruits, who had the desire to work in the shelter and who had educational background related to teaching and psychology. In addition, I just learned to observe individuals and assess them judging from their non-verbal communication to make the right decision.
As a result, I proved to be capable to identify recruits, who got a chance to work in the Runaway Youth Shelter. This was a great experience for me.
