Getting in!

First post for me!

I recently received my HR degree (bachelor's). I would like to "mention" this to our HR lady at the local branch of my company, but I don't want to be too "forward," since I'm just a lowly data entry person right now.

Does anyone have any advice for how to break the ice?

Thanks!

You could strike up a conversation and mention something about how relieived you are to be done with school. That might bring up the subject. Just a suggestion.

Be proud of what you accomplished!! It wouldn't be forward of you - Say something like "I am so glad that I am finished with college!" or "I finally completed my Bachelor's degree and I'm so excited".

That would be good if I ever saw her, but I work at an off-site location. I am definitely going to try to get to the main office soon, now that you mention it. Maybe I should change my direct deposit so I'll have a reason to see her...

You could call or email the HR person and ask how to get your personnel file updated with this new information. This would give you a very natural way to have a conversation with her about your accomplishment and to see if your degree would make you qualified for any future opportunities in the HR department.
