Hi, I’m new to the field of HR and I would love to have an experienced HR person that I could talk to about questions that I have.  I’m getting a lot of the basics down, but sometimes having a person that I can just bounce ideas off of, or ask questions as to whether I’m doing something the correct way would be a tremendous help.

Thank you!
