What does a day in the life of an HR Specialist look like?
You'll usually start your morning working on tasks from the day before. This can depend on the season.
At the beginning of the year, we focus on things like performance plans and ensuring position descriptions are updated. Since we're the US Attorney's Office, if a new administration is coming in, we're making sure all our new staff are in place and organizing delegations.
On a standard day, you're processing items, answering questions, or responding to audit findings. There's also a lot of research involved, as we're always looking into laws and regulations.
