You don't say what your degree is in....many jobs require a great deal of experience and aren't looking for fresh out of college folks.  Unfortunately you'll probably have to work your way up to the position you're seeking.  For example, I am an HR major.  I've been told several times that I will most likely have to get an entry level job, maybe even clerical, and work up towards the HR position.  I hope this gives you a bit of insight.  Other than that, are you calling the places you're submitting your resume to??? Try that..

My girlfriend is majoring in Psychology and can get internships in HR at many different places. So that's one way you could rack up experience. \n\nOther than that, I'm sure if you worked your way up through purchasing, or through another position at a different job, you could possibly transfer to HR after you have tenure.\n\nJust some thoughts...

Well show your dependability, be on time to work, do not procrastinate on tasks, don't do the minimum, always go above and beyond the call of duty...if your company has trainings, go to them.  Show your employer that you are diligent and a hardworker.   Be nice to everyone in the workplace.  Make sure your appearance is always nice and groomed.  Dress for Success.  \n\nSo when your evaluation comes around you will be ready.  Read up on your position and see what you need to do for certifications, degree, etc.  I wish you the best!

I would suggest you do training with \nhttp://www.ei-ahla.org/ This is very well known and both Cendant and Choice use this as a requirement for there general managers. Possibly even just buying a used college text book on human resources. Or start out as a desk clerk and work your way up.

Practice, practice, practice.   I would recommend talking to people you know who you think have good people skills, or simply observing what they do.   \n\nTypically people with good people skills do the following:\n\n1)  Listen\n2)  Keep a smile on their face.\n3)  Don't complain.\n4)  Remember names and faces\n5)  Speak first.\n\nIt's hard to become one if you aren't already, but I would practice and don't worry if you seem awkward.   You'll get better.

Most HR managers haven't a clue what would make a good employee.  I would expect they view as essential qualities they are lacking in themselves - good customer focus, efficiency and a genuine desire to help people.

Your Human Resources Department.\n\nIf YOU are the HR Department, you can go to the link below.

1.  Know the job and the salary for your area (research this)\n2.  Know the ideal qualifications and or main functions of the job, and be prepared to go in with real life examples of "what you have done"  vs.  "well, I would"\n3.  Realize that there are transferable skills.  Example; if you are going to be a postition at a financial institution where you would be data-mining, but have never done so in a financial institution but have in a training environment - tie the 2 together.  The concept at both are the same just data-mining different information.\n4.  "Believe" you deserve the salary you are asking for.\n5.  Sell yourself and your skills - self confidence is good.  Cockiness and arrogance is not.\n\nGood Luck.

Every company or organisation is based on certain resources for their business. The most primary and important resource for ANY company/organisation/government is HUMAN RESOURCE, which in other words means PEOPLE.\n\nJust like managing anyother resource like your raw materials etc, Human Resource also needs to be managed. And as you know, it is one of the toughest job for any company, big or small.\n\nFollowing are the basic work-areas of a HRM.\n1. Identify and forecast the growth and need for new resources.\n2. Planning for recruitment procedures, process and mechanisms to handle those HR needs.\n3. Identify the bottleneck areas in the organisation from people perspective and work with the management in resolving it.\n4. Act as a intermediary between the employee and the management.\n5. Identify, Forecast and Plan for Employee satisfaction to increase Employee Moral.\n6. Conduct surveys, interviews, discussions, checks and balances to address greivances and complaints.\n7. Balance the Attrition and Recruitment ratio. Escalate if the Attrition rate increases and address the reasons.\n\nWell this is just a FEW of the parameters of HR Management. Hope it helps.\n\n.:Fishie:.

A Resume typically has several sections, including but not limited to:\n\n*Contact Information\n*Objective\n*Education\nRelevant Coursework\n*Experience\nSpecial Skills\nOrganizations\n"References available upon Request"\n\n(* means must include)\n\nThey should be easy to read (use white space) and should be at maximum one page. Your resume is your primary method of marketing yourself and serves one purpose only:\n\nTO GET YOU AN INTERVIEW\n\nThat is it's only purpose. It should reflect your greatest strengths. If you're weak in some areas, include only the minimum information necessary for those sections, or don't include them at all (depending on how important the section is.)\n\nWith that said, here are a few tips:\n\n(1) HR Managers are busy people who love BULLETS\n\n~Include them\n~whenever\n~possible\n\n(2) Quantify, quantify, quantify. \n\nWhich sounds better: "improved sales since first hired" or "increased quarterly sales revenue average of 47% since November 2003"\n\n(3) List the most relevant information first. Seeing as how you are applying for a technical position, you would probably want to list your technical skills towards the top. (Many HR Managers never make it past the first third of a resume.)\n\n(4) Tailor your resume to the specific company and position (this can be done rather nicely through the objective statement).\n\nHope all this helps!\nGood luck on your job search.

To me, the best thing you can do is learn as much as you can as quickly as you can.  Ask for any reading material on your job and surrounding jobs.  Take material home and read.  Take notes if you are being trained so people don't have to re-teach you.  Act with confidence.  Think before you ask a question that doesn't need to be asked - you can ask too many questions.  As management, it looks good if you don't leave at exactly 4:30 or whenever.  After your first day, go home and think about how you can do the best job you can to help the company.

It all depends on the school you go to. You will need to take the general classes (math, english, science, etc) but for your core HR classes you will probably need to take classes in business, training, employment law, organizational development, and other classes specifically related to HR. This is of course if the program you are in is specifically for HR. There are many schools out there now that offer degrees in HR Management. \n\nHOpe this helps. I received my BA in Human Relations with an emphasis in HR Managment.

I suggest making a list of companies that you would be interested in working for, and applying directly to their HR department.  Why wait for a company to advertise a position?  Make their job a little bit easier by sending them your resume.\n\nIt's really important to tailor your cover letter and resume to each individual company.  You should emphasize relevant work experience, education and skills, while removing or de-emphasizing qualifications that are not relevant to the position.
