Masters in HRM with no experience?
i am currently in the military as a safety manager. I will graduate with my MA in human resources in March. I get out of the Marine Corps in Sept 2011. I am worried i will not be able to find a job with no experience in the field. I organize training and have evaluated other Marines performance in thier daily job tasks. My LtCol is giving me a letter of Rec geared toward HR. What are my chances of getting in this field, and what do you think my starting salary and ending salary will be. If it mattters i am 28 yrs old.

Being in the military -- you have experience as a safety manager. Plus, it will look good that you are in the military. Business degrees are pretty good right now (good degrees). You do have some experience (list that part about "organizing training..." under Training In section on resume...your resume is key.) Also, I would suggest a good cover letter when you apply. That way, you can describe the kinds of things you did in the military. Is there anyway you can do an internship somehow? Internships are a good idea Honestly, you are going to be a lot better off than a lot of us -- I have a degree (not in HR) and am still looking for employment. I'm 25 and just graduated -- my regret is not doing internships, not getting letters of recommendation, and not participating in any extracurricular activities. But, so, cover letter is key. And a good resume that highlights your strengths. Salary depends on what industry you do HR in. Good luck

I understand that you work a very special job FULL TIME. But I do not understand how a university can be granting you a masters degree in HR without requiring you to do internships. I think your best bet is for you to get into some kind of management trainee program. Something like this one offered at Amheuser-Busch/InBev: http://www.ab-inbev.com/go/careers/careers_opportunities/trainee/welcome.cfm?zone=8 Research all the Fortune 1000.

I've lived in both Newcastle and Leeds - that's quite a tough question, I have to admit. Both universities are excellent places to get a degree from. The quality is very similar although I'd say Newcastle is probably slightly better. Both cities have lots of good bars, pubs and clubs. Newcastle has the Quayside, Leeds has Call Lane. You won't get bored with either. If you're more into underground music (specific bands or djs), Leeds is slightly better. It's closer to London and Manchester - not quite as many names make it as far North as Newcastle. Leeds also has slightly more clubs and venues for that sort of thing. As I mentioned though, both have excellent night life. Both are quite safe cities, as long as you're sensible. I've heard more about muggings, fights and burglaries in Leeds than Newcastle, but still, not very many compared to other cities. Heaton in Newcastle and Headingley in Leeds are both quite decent areas for students, although you occasionally get the odd dodgy - type hanging around. Whichever one you choose, you'll have a great time. Both are awesome, friendly cities. Maybe you should visit, have a good look around both and decide which one you like best.

with a degree in psychology, are these careers a possible option with the degree in psychology
with a degree in psychology, are these careers a possible option with the degree in psychology?
Okay so I'm getting my BA in psychology, but I'm planning on getting my MA in human resources OR continuing with my Psychology (still have this year to think about it). But in the mean time I was going to attempt to get a job with my BA in psychology as a social worker or parole officer? Is that possible? I'm very interested in the Social Work- always has been a top career choice for myself, and the parole officer I've just actually found a high interest in that career. yeah that's what I was thinking being a SW and the pay being crappy. I mean pay isn't everything but it needs to be enough to get by.

Maybe, but there are a lot of people with MSWs and a lot of competition for jobs these days. You probably wont make squat as a SW. (Dont know if you care.)

what kind of contribution do you want to make?

1. A financial contribution. 2. From experience; mentor a younger person on a matter(s) of their choice. 3. Etc.
3
Try the Government. You will find many Government HR jobs open all over the country. I work in HR for a Government agency...I think you will have good luck with all of your experience. If you apply to a government job, my best advice is to literally write a book on your KSA (Knowledge, Skills & Abilities), which is a required part of the application. The website for all Government jobs is www.usajobs.gov. Good luck!

I would suggest that you look toward your local non-profit board of director groups. They are always looking for someone with your skills to help with their organizations. I serve on two non-profit boards, and help them with marketing, human resources, and business development. Many non-profit boards need people like yourself to help guide their policies, procedure, mission, and values.
