Have you ever thought about what you might like most in the area of human resources? If you don't know what your passion is, don't worry, the first thing you need to know is that it is a huge area with many possibilities for development and specialization. Secondly, I would recommend that you not close doors for any position, since it will give you new skills that can always help you apply for another type of position later.
The two main types of professionals into which we can divide a person who is dedicated to human resources in a company is by the position of generalist technician, or specialist technician.
General technicians

Its functions are very varied and sometimes, They rely on external companies that help them carry out all the planned actions.
Technical specialists
The technical specialists are responsible for a specific function within the department, such as selection, labor and employee relations, training and development, job analysis, compensation and benefits, or other areas of expertise The knowledge acquired by performing this type of functions as a specialist is very high. These types of positions are more common in large companies.
