Christine Doane

1.

I had no idea what I wanted to do for a career, but I knew I loved working with people. I took an intro to communication class in college and decided to major in the subject.

2.

During my undergraduate studies, I still had no idea what I wanted to do, so a professor encouraged me to apply to grad school.

3.

During grad school, I still didn't know what I wanted to do. A family friend suggested I look into Human Resources (HR). I had never heard of it, but looked into it and it sounded interesting.

4.

I made a list of top employers in my area and started calling around trying to get an interview for an internship. I was given an opportunity by a Fortune 500 company that created a position for me.

5.

I gained an overview of HR as an HR Generalist at Pacific Life. I did everything from recruiting to terminating and everything in between, but I always loved the hiring and recruiting part the best.

6.

When the economy tanked in 2009, I was laid off and decided to take a couple of positions in corporate training. I really enjoyed it, but missed recruiting, so I decided to pursue recruiting instead.

7.

I was given a recruiting opportunity at a large privately held firm that had high expectations and was fast paced, but I learned a ton! After 5 years, I decided to take on a new opportunity at GoPro.

8.

At GoPro, I started as a Recruiter and promoted to Global Recruiting Operations Manager where I oversaw all of the recruiting processes and more. This prepared me for my current role at Taco Bell!
