Organizational and Human Resources is the competency area that most challenges me. I have not yet encountered opportunities to manage others participate in a hiring process. I have, however, become adept at creating internal manuals and other resources, training materials, and presentations. This experience was useful when I was asked to create a manual for the admissions office where I work, the graduate admissions office at Northeastern’s Bouvé College of Health Sciences.

This training manual is the artifact that best demonstrates my learning in the OHR competency because it required that I comprehend and incorporate new information and processes quickly, and in return I had to create instructions that would aid in teaching others. It also required that I be able to communicate nuances in policy in ways that are both clear and professional. I finished the manual in Summer 2018 and have used it to train employees in subsequent semesters.
