Amy Beamer

Because we are talking a lot about careers, we had a lady come in named Amy Beamer. Her job title is a Human Resource worker. She talked about where she has worked, like M&M Meat Shop. She now works at the local library, and assists with choosing who to hire. When she first came in, I was under the impression that it was her job to hire people but I was wrong. Her job is to sort through resumes and pick people who would be a good match for the job. Then she would mention them the the manager or the one doing the hiring. We also talked about our jobs and different things that we don't think are right or fair. While we were on the topic of complaints in the workplace she shared with us some of the outrageous complaints. She mentioned that there was an adult who complained about her work and how she didn't like the toilet paper. This was one of my favorite guest speakers because it was casual and funny, but there was a serious aspect that I got something from.
