SAS Work Experience Day 4 – Human Resources

Today Justin Tunley and I visited the Human Resources department of SAS! We were greeted in the morning by Bethany LeClair, who was able to tell us all about SAS , what they do, and her position. She talked to us about how with her job, she is able to go to different universities, campuses, and career fairs and promote SAS software, as well as try to recruit more people to intern/work at SAS. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to Ms. LeClair, and thought she shared a really interesting perspective on how the data can be used! Later on, Justin and I shadowed another woman in the HR department and spent the rest of the day with her. She told us all about college, her life, and provided us with advice for the HR department. I found it interesting because going into the day, I did not really have any grasp of what HR was responsible for, and she clearly explained all of the different departments to us and what they did. One thing I particularly liked that she said was about technology and knowledge in general. She told us that as part of her job, she is always having to teach herself new websites and programs. She said that although this can sometimes be challenging, that in the end it is really interesting and that it can be beneficial to constantly seek out new technology and new knowledge!
