Have you tried looking at SHRM.org? (Society for Human Resources Management) They have loads of excellent resources. If you need this in a hurry and want to find something at a local bookstore, you could try "Human Resources for Dummies" which offers an abbreviated view of HR and it's cheap if you buy used on Amazon.com. Also, there's "Human Resources Jumpstart - The First Step Towards a Career in HR."

Also workforce management is a fine resource for actual HRM. It is free of charge and you will find lots of best practice examples. www.workforce.com Yours Tim

You should get a business degree with a major in Management. This is the closest you can get to an actual HR degree. There will probably be several HR related classes you can take as electives. Check the management major course list. You shouldn't major in any of those majors you listed if you want to work HR. HR is business, those aren't business degrees.

Professional organizations like SHRM (Society fro Human Resources Management) and WorldatWork generally have job boards you can look at. As far as large companies, many are always looking for someone who wants to get in on the ground level of HR Admin work. Pick a specialty once you've worked with several groups. As a number cruncher I chose Compensation, technically gifted people may do HRIS, if you're the friend that always settles disputes and calms otehrs down go into Employee Relations, etc.

There is no such MBA. Universities don't grant MBA in information systems, or MBA in finance, or MBA in marketing. MBA means Master in Business Administration. The MBA is a general degree preparing students for management positions in any level of a business, up to CEO. MBA students study accounting, finance, marketing, management, statistics, economics, strategy, policy, and other courses. Many MBA programs offer concentrations in these and many other fields, but that amounts to only 2-3 courses in your chosen field in the second year of study. Many students avoid a concentration and take a variety of elective subjects to gain a broader background. By the time you finish the first year you'll be able to decide which concentration interests you. You don't become a specialist in a field with 2-3 courses. It generally takes a year of concentrated study. The MBA is not like an MS degree that concentrates study in a single field and prepares students for high level staff or research positions. The MS typically requires an undergraduate education in the field in which you want the MS, or a closely related field. A finance major does not get an MS in chemistry, and a biology major does not get an MS in accounting. If you want to specialize in a particular field other than business administration, such as finance, marketing, operations management, human resource management, or a non-business field such as public health, or public administration, you should get an MS degree in that specialization. MBA programs accept students in any undergraduate field. They prefer students who do not have a business background because they give you the business training but they cannot provide the broad background that managers should have. I have taught MBA students with degrees in Music, Medicine, Dentistry, Law, Psychology, Political Science, Chemistry, Biology, Engineering, and many other fields. Most MBA programs prefer students with 2-3 years work experience after the first degree, but many accept students right out of college if they have good grades and a high GMAT score. Some MBA programs are designed specifically for new college graduates without work experience. The Official MBA Guide provides a lot of information about the MBA degree and MBA schools and programs. It's a comprehensive free public service with more than 2,000 MBA programs listed worldwide. It allows you to search for programs by location (US, Europe, Far East, etc.), by concentration (finance, marketing, aviation management, health management, accounting, etc.), by type of program (full-time, distance learning, part-time, executive, and accelerated), and by listing your own criteria and preferences to get a list of universities that satisfy your needs. Schools report their accreditation status, tuition cost, number of students, class sizes, program length, and a lot of other data. Schools provide data on entrance requirements, program costs, program characteristics, joint degrees, and much more. You can use the Guide to contact schools of your choice, examine their data, visit their web site, and send them pre applications. You can see lists of top 40 schools ranked by starting salaries of graduates, GMAT scores, and other criteria. It's the best service available at http://officialmbaguide.org.

Corporate restructuring is usually a euphemism for "down-sizing". HR's role, in a nutshell, is to help determine who gets laid off and what kind of severance pay the former employees will get. In a merger, two companies combine resources, including people. There is a good chance, in a merger, that some positions between the two companies will overlap and not all employees from both companies will have positions in the new, combined company. Again, HR would decide who goes and who stays. It may be a little more complicated than that, but that's the gist of it.

I have an MBA in Human Resource Management and am trying to find a job in it
I have an MBA in Human Resource Management and am trying to find a job in it.?
I have taught Human Resource Management, helped find and interview possible employees and have done many seminars. What am I missing here? Why is it so difficult to find a job in HR? I am very passionate about HR and would be an excellent employee. I loved going to school for it. I have a very good work history. I was a computer programmer for quite a few years and have been a financial advisor for 4. I'm constantly networking, am always sending resumes out and I can't find a job in it. I know I can't be a HR Director off the bat but I don't want an entry level position either. With my work experience and education, I can help a company so much and make a difference. If you have any advice, I would really appreciate it. I even have my own hour long, call in radio show that I love. I'm very personable and easy going and make everyone comfortable.
