My training for work in human resources occurred in two ways.  First, as a Cape Cod Real Estate broker, I

needed to serve both sellers and buyers, many of them were fifty-five and older.  Then, after I started my position at Elder Services, I began and obtained my Masters in Management.  

The day-by-day work combined with my studies proved to be an especially helpful and rewarding experience.Also, at this same time, I learned about and became a member of the Cape Cod Human Resources Association.  Here, over the years I have been able to keep current with human resources issues.  Both the speakers and the exchange of information with fellow members have been so rewarding.

There is no one experience that I can claim to be the most memorable.  What I can say is that the memory I carry with me is the whole experience of working with so many different people and balancing the employee's needs and that of the organization's management. I suspect that this endeavor is one that brings many HR people into this field.
