Brief summary of person specifications and how you qualify for the job
Below matching some of the requirements competency for a Human resource manager
and my competencies.
The human resources manager is required to have qualities such as integrity,
communication, IT skills, working with deadlines and organisation skills. I can say that I have
the necessary skills which are required to be a competent HR manager (Budhwar, 2016).

Although the skills need to be continuously perfected in order to meet the desired performance
standards.
When it comes to technical knowledge a HR manager needs to have a strong grip on the
employment law knowledge and should be able to work on systems such as HR systems and
Payroll systems (Haque, 2017). Considering my own knowledge, I can say that I have just began
to learn and understand the areas that are covered under employment law. But when it comes to
operating HR systems I can say that I have little or no knowledge of how these systems operate
and needs to invest lot of time and energy in order to carry a good understanding and emerge to
be more employable.

resource assistant in the organisation. Supported with adequate experience and certification
courses I will get hold of my desired job role in a capable organisation.
