Being an HR Assistant at a Company Your Relative Works At

Hi, everyone! I just have a quick question (asking on behalf of a friend) and wanted to know what your thoughts on the matter are. My friend is looking to apply for a position as an HR Assistant at a local company. However, their parent is a member of the executive team within this company. I know this can be tailored specifically to a certain company/sector/industry, however, what would you thoughts be on the matter? A big NO, or would it make much of a difference? Many thanks!

  • Hi
    If people work local then it is only natural they will be working in same Company as close family / friends. It's up to your friend if she would feel comfortable with this. I personally have always worked away from the local area and have turned down job offers as I just wouldn't feel comfortable working with those I would socialise with or meet in the local bar and shop. Other's I know in HR are happy to work in same company as family etc
    What is your concern?
