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.

Did the company contribute towards your tutition? If so, then that's a natural way of bringing it up. Otherwise, I agree with Linda, this is something that should go in your personal file so just call her up and ask her how to get your file updated.

I just recevied my BA in HR and I want to update my personnel file, how do I do that?
