I have a college degree and experience and I'm having a tough time at getting a start in HR. anyone do it and have some pointers/advice? Thanks

Work for a headhunter for a little while. Almost all of the recruiters I've known end up going into HR at some point.

Recruiting can be a good gig with the right company as well.

Sutterkane is right...

My wife was a recruiter for years. We moved off to a larger market, so she could get more experience with the way other companies operate. Due to her working relationship with a local CEO, he called her out of the blue one day when he took over a new job and asked her to come work for him. We moved back to MS and she's the HR Director for one of the state's largest medical clinics.

Look into recruiting, but look in a larger market than MS. There's good money to be made there and a good bit of recruiting experience.

Personally have never saw a HR person actually work. They are just the butt of jokes from engineers and other useful employees!****

Thanks for the replies and info, I really appreciate it. I really want to stay in MS or close to it but maybe I should go get experience as a recruiter. Tough to find something where I'm at (tupelo). Thanks again, someone else chime in too if you have any info
