2.  Your easiest route to an HR job is through
your current employer, so talk with your
boss and the HR department to express
your wishes.Take and follow any advice that
they offer about what you need to do to
prepare for a job opening.
You need to speak up loudly and clearly,
although never obnoxiously, to keep your
current employer informed of your career
path goal.Your forays into HR can succeed.
You just need to stay on their radar.

3.  Look for an opportunity to take on additional
tasks in your current job that take you in the
direction of a job in HR. Many people in
accounting started in HR by doing payroll, for
example. Maybe there are ways in which your
current department and the HR department can
share your time.
One young person started out as a departmental
liaison to HR.Another started by running her
department's UnitedWay campaign.Another
started in reception and gradually assumed more
and more HR tasks starting with applicant
greeting,helping with job applications,
and scheduling interviews.Think creatively.

4.  Some HR professionals will tell you that
they targeted the field of HR and took
some classes or earned the PHR to
prepare to enter the field. Other
professionals will tell you that business
networking and experience are key. Save
the certifications until later when you
take an HR job.

5.  Why not interview some successful HR managers
in your community to seek out their advice about
getting into the field of HR where you live?They
can share ideas about how to obtain experience
and how to develop credentials that qualify you
for a job in HR.
Many HR people are willing to participate in these
informational interviews.The interviews are also a
way to get your name known, as interested in HR,
out into your community.When you seek out an
HR professional, you compliment his or her
knowledge and credibility, too.Thus, the HR
professional receives something in return when
you target an HR job.

6.  Belong to and attend any associations or
professional groups in your community that
attract HR professionals.The networking will
stand you in good stead when you are ready
to find your dream job.
Network also in regional business
associations and in online social media
networks such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and
the many Human Resources communities
that exist at locations such as job
boards, SHRM, andWorkforcemagazine.

7.  Review your prior employment, education,
and experiences.Tailor
your resumeand cover letters to highlight
the components that qualify you for a career
in HR management.You need to develop a
resume that focuses in on your HR-related
experience in any position and highlight it
for an employer.
An employer won't take the time to read
between the lines to find your qualifications
for their job.You have to highlight your HR
qualifications for them—even more, for your
current employer, who may only think of you
in connection with your current job.

8.  You will want to read through all of the ideas
about how to transition into an HR career.
 You could consider taking a brief leave from your
current job to do an HR internship.Many
employers offer unpaid leave so ask before
assuming that leave is not an option. Especially if
you can afford the time away from a paycheck,
you can gain experience that will make you more
employable in an HR job.
 If you have no college or graduate degree in
HR or business, consider that these credentials
are becoming more important.A background in
HR coursework or a degree might make you
more employable in an HR job.
