I am currently a receptionist/admin assistant...i've had this position for only 4 months and i have to quit because i am moving out of state(it was a last minute dessicion) i mostly assist the HR manager...my main duty is doing payroll. i maintain timesheets and process payroll...i also assist the security manager and many of her duties...my question is what kind of job should i be looking for when i move...i want to get a job as a payroll specialist or maybe even get a position in HR but am afraid i do not have enough experience...are there any suggestions...i also completed an ADP payroll class and have notes on all the tasks and projects they have me do...so i need little training
You would still be considered entry level since you have limited skills. Your best bet is go for a position in Payroll where they are willing to train. ADP is great, but not everyone uses them so it's good to know a few different systems. Oracle experience would be good for HR or accounting.
Four months is not much experience, however, if you could be enthusiastic and make yourself be flexible, you may be able to get in (unless a company is looking for more experienced personnel). Check in the Library and see what kind of books they have on the current payroll systems in your area. Look for an entry - level position in your field and get more taining & education in whatever area you want to pursue.
