Looking for a Job

Toronto/GTA
HR Generalist/Trainer

I have a double degree in Mechanical Engineering and English Literature. My degree course had a timeline of 4 years, but I attained this in 3 years. I have a Master's in English Literature from University College Dublin in Ireland.

For the past two years I've been working on a cruise ship in the role of trainer, but essentially I was responsible for all of the HR functions for 900-1300 staff members. This job involved working 70 hours per week for anything from payroll to benefits and all facets of training. Training involved management training, software training, orientation and hospitality. English teaching was an essential part of the role as well as running a resource center for all staff members. I am TEFL certified, a licensed instructional designer from the American Maritime Organization and a certified Hospitality trainer.

Before that I worked for three recruitment companies in Ireland and I was responsible for staffing functions as well as Business Development. I consistently hit 90% of my target and was lead consultant for my branch.

Here's the cherry on top though: I am the hardest working person looking for a job in southern Ontario right now. No joke. Not just saying that. It's just a fact. Early mornings? I'm there. Night and weekends? Done. Need a presentation for some obscure software I've never heard of before, and you need it in 24 hours? I'll make your cue cards too, sir. I'm young, no baggage and a ton of student loans. I'll work 24 hours a day if you need.

Transferable skills!(Yes, you too can be smarter than the average hiring manager)

Writing - Instructional design is 90% writing, also my Master's required quite a bit.
Editing - I wrote every single job advertisement while I was a recruiter myself. I also wrote several resumes for staff members on the cruise line.
Translation - fluent in French and English. Spanish & Italian conversational (but this is Canada, so...)
HR Functions - Employee relations and development, benefits analysis, hiring.
Sales & Marketing - Essential in recruitment.
Communications - PR pitches and campaigns are essentially presentations about the positive aspects of your business.

I need to find a job before April. If there is anything like this in your company, I would rock the heck out of it.

Thanks kids.
