How to start a career in HR?

Re: How to start a career in HR?

It's hard to start a career in HR with little experience. In order for one to be qualified for an HR position you need to have a background of training. Taking courses in business, social sciences such as psychology and sociology, and finance is one way to get started, and will increase the likelihood of you getting hired for the position you seek. Also take into account that many professionals are also pursuing Masters degrees in Human Resources, Organization Development, Business Administration, and other fields. So if you want to take a crack at having the best chance of getting the job, previous training is a must.

Start with the companies that are actively advertising that are looking to fill jobs. Once you have gone through all of them, spend the rest of the time of application to the companies that you would like to work, although not currently hiring at this time.
