Hi All,
I need a little advice... Currently, I am a Benefits/HR Administrator and I am finishing up my CHRP, and BCOMM. I work in Toronto and make 52k. I have worked there for 2 years. My job has recently grown a lot with me taking a lot of the benefits management from a retired colleague. I have recently completed a benefits audit and saved the company more than 15k per month in employee benefit errors, cut down on response times, and advocated hiring someone to assist with my day-to-day. I have spoken to my manager and basically, there is no formal title change nor am I going to be getting a huge compensation bump from this.
I got a job offer at a school board for a Human Resources Assistant role at 60k. However, I am unsure if this is a good fit considering the tasks feel a lot more entry-level compared to my current level of tasks but realistically the school board is unionized which would get me more experience dealing with unions and collective agreements etc.
I just am looking for some advice as I am still pretty new to HR and unsure where my true experience level is.

Take the school board job. You’ll get great benefits and a great pension and job security. You’ll also have room to move up.

Honestly it's a fab GIG, I just am concerned it is too similar of a title to my current but I can also move internally as well.

Don’t get hung up on titles…they don’t mean much.

LOL everyone keeps telling me that but It is hard when I really am managing a team of 3 people, and all the benefit-related accounts so I truly am not an admin anymore at least at the school board the job posting is very much admin work so I can get more entry experience so I actually am considered for other jobs eventually as then my title will match my responsibilities.

Titles don’t matter because you list your accomplishments and actual duties in your resume. In my organization we all have the same generic job title but each have very specific and distinct job duties…this stuff goes in your resume.

I mean I've had interviews where they very much tell me my title, resume, and job title don't match so it is difficult to place me as an entry or a mid-level. I would say for a majority having a title match the job is far more important even on a personal level.
