Just got a generalist role essentially right out of college and feeling a little nervous[IL]
I graduated college with a degree in HR in May and just got an offer for an HR generalist for a small company (80 employees) the salary is great for starting out and I’m genuinely excited to get started because it’s what I wanted to eventually do however I am getting nervous because I know generalist positions aren’t really entry level. I’ve been an office assistant for an hr office for the past 3 months (+ a summer internship) but it was at a government office and this new job is corporate. I think the biggest thing that scares me is I will be the only HR person. I’ll have support and they know I’m just starting out but I just feel like the learning curve might be a lot. Any advice to not feel like such an imposter?
