P3.instances[0].transcript.parse_transcript_data({"transcript":"I would say what I like the best about my job is that in my entire career, I've never had one day that was exactly the same. And so there's constantly different challenges that are put forth to me and so I like the fact that I don't have a consistent day ever. The biggest challenge that I face in the workforce today is that there's a lot of ever changing items, whether it's from a technology standpoint, or whether it's a business changing its strategy or objectives. And so it's really hard to keep a handle on what's going on. So you really have to prioritize and figure out what's important, and also just keep a finger on the pulse of what's going on your organization and in the environment around you. A key realization in my career was, as I started out right after college in my position, I realized that I gravitated towards a lot of the technology components of HR and that I enjoyed working with different systems. And so what I did is, I continued to seek out opportunities to grow my experience and my skill in that area, and that's how I ended up in this position today, even though I don't have a computer science background. But it gave me opportunity to combine passions around HR and technology work. So in terms of getting a job in the field of HR, I feel like with any sort of field that you really have to kind of put forth the effort, making sure that you're networking with people, getting the appropriate experience. I wouldn't say that it's any harder than any other field to get your foot in the door. It's just making sure that you're taking advantage of the opportunities in that field.
