More Than Just Resources

My thoughts earlier this morning:

1. Internships SHOULD NOT demand any experience at all. The single purpose of an internship is to get experience and learn. It’s that simple.

2. Entry-level jobs SHOULD NOT require 2-4 years of experience. The purpose of an entry-level job is to kick start your career, get into the industry/role, and grow. That’s it.

3. If you pay your intern ₦0/month that means he would first have to live a few months on a budget of ₦0. Is “good experience” accepted as payment at the supermarket? Would “great company culture” and “top company to work for” pay the bills???

Can we intentionally put the Human(ity) back into HR and start seeing people as more than just ‘Resources?’

Cheers to a great day dear readers.
