Good day,
I am about to be appointed as a new HR officer, and I am currently studying HR. My bosses said I must sell myself to them so that if they promote me, I can outline what I will be doing in the office daily. Could you please assist me with what I should do as an HR officer when I first arrive at work?

There are so many things that, as an HR officer, you shall be performing, and all these jobs will differ from company to company. If it's a small organization, then we are the people who end up doing everything from attendance, hiring, firing, letters, HRMS updating, leave records, employee counseling, filing, statutory compliance, training records, meetings, etc.
If it's a big organization, then as per your HR specialization, the roles will differ. If it's a factory, the IR and the contract workers and vendors, those roles also add up. So depending on where you are joining, the same will change. I joined a company as an HR officer where there were only two people in HR, me and my boss, and we did all the jobs from a peon to the President of HR. So, everything is included.
All the best for your innings.
