(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

Human resources is a valuable career field and takes up space in most companies or organizations that exist. When we think of a HR Department, we usually affiliate these departments who are responsible for managing aspects of the business which relate to the employees. These individuals help establish a foundation where things within a company and its employees can flow accordingly, and they often contain the backbone to most organizations. I find this article of interest because it helps create the bigger picture of human resources management and how this came to be, as I also seek a career in this field.

I found this article to be very helpful for a multitude of reasons. The history of the article seems very up to date compared to when certain aspects of HR came into place. We see how this article also offers a vast amount of information including career paths which seems to have very current information added especially with the rise in virtual opportunities offered within the career. There were not many images or graphs included in this specific article, this being because the information given did not necessarily need to be backed with images but this is also a very helpful addition when breaking down statistics involved in the HR field and how this correlates to certain opportunities offered.

I thought this article had a great flow and was organized clearly in order to comprehend the information provided. I enjoyed seeing the history of the HR world but also love how authors included a more current view of this and did not linger too much on the history. Though important (history), it is much more educational when we can evaluate the current state of any topic and I believe this article did that. Overall, I was very pleased with the information given and found this article very helpful when understanding the many aspects involved in human resource management.
