Recent grad living in NY pursuing a career in HR, no experience to land a job or find internship, my options?
Asked by Lord ah Mercy!!!
Where do I begin to get into the HR field?

Best Answer:
When you say you have no experience, do you mean no work experience at all? I came out of college with no experience in the HR area (and no particular interest in getting any), but I ended up in HR through an administrative position. I had adminstrative/clerical work experience through temp jobs, and that got me placed in to a position as an admin in an HR department. I did pretty much straight-up admin work (filing, answering phones, etc.) for 1 year, then moved into a Recruiting Assistant role for 5 years, a Recruiter for 1 year, and I am now an HRIS Analyst. From that original admin role, I could've made the choice to go in a direction that would have led more to an HR Rep and HR Generalist route. You may also want to look at starting with a staffing agency. They may take you with limited experience and start you off in a sales/recruiting role. One of my colleagues started off in that route and she moved from there to corporate recruiting and is now an HR Generalist.

try the us govt in military recruiting office theres always a need for your services and its a great place to build an impecable resume, the pay aint too hot in the beginning, but gets better after a while

How about trying to be a recruiter. Maybe with roberthalf.com. http://www.asktheheadhunter.com/habeaheadhunter.htm. If not that then check careerbuilder.com for companies outside of NYC. Like NJ , White Plains, Long Island. good luck.
