What are your main responsibilities within your role?
Right now, in the US Attorney's office for the Southern District, I serve as the senior HR specialist. My role is primarily training and HR oversight.
We now have a total of five HR specialists. If someone new comes on board, I train them and develop many of our job aids and update our policies.
If anyone on our staff has a question, I answer it. I also act as an unofficial deputy to our HR officer. When she's not here, I handle everything from benefits and payroll to anything else HR-related. We handle all of it in-house.
