• How to Get a Job in Hu...
I want to thank you! You’re absolutely amazing. I watched so many of your videos to help prepare for a super important job interview. I got offered the job last Friday! ❤ I couldn’t have done it without your advice.
I work for the federal government, prior military and have a Master's degree in HR and still cannot get a job in HR. They say I am not qualified or ineligible it's absolutely ridiculous.
Its them feeling threatened by their job and gatekeeping.
You mean you previously worked for government as a civilian?
Hi we are all creating our realities, follow your heart and logic if you are passionate about HR you will have a job! Find what you are deeply passionate about this will help.
You got a job yet bro I wish you the best of luck

This is right on time! I had a friend of a friend who is in HR look over my resume and said I should focus on applying to HR roles. I'm the "transferrable skills" applicant and didn't know how to showcase my accomplishments in the best way on my resume. I don't have a linear path and have always been in a people-facing role (neuromuscular therapist, member/customer success, behavioral technician, barista). It feels great to have a focus and to see how much an HR role actually aligns with my skills. I haven't received any invitations to interviews as of yet but I'm doing my best to not get discouraged!
Yesss I am so rooting for you!
Thank you! @@SelfMadeMillennial
I absolutely love HR! It’s simply a desire to be a part of something greater by making positive yet significant changes within an organization. I think many companies tend to forget that it isn’t just the consumers that contribute to the bottom line, but its’ employees, who play such a major role! By aligning the goals of the organization to the motivation and desires of its’ people, can ultimately yield greater success for all and its’ bottom line!
You are what is wrong with society. You say all these hollow, cliche fluffy terms and phrases, but in actually, you have no major impact on the organization, and you are easily replaceable. The employees that create the product and the management are what delivers impact, not pencil pushers like you.
This video came right on time! I’ve been in logistics for 10 years, and I’m going to school to obtain my HRM degree. I have a job interview tomorrow, at a warehouse, for the HR Assistant role. Wish me luck!! 😅
Rooting for you!!
Heyy!! Best of luck for your interview. 😊👍
Hello there. How did it go?
Hi, I didn’t get the role due to lack of experience.
I'm sorry..I feel you because I am currently in school for human resources management and I am worried about this. I applied to be a admin assistant to atleast get my foot in the door.
Hi Madeline! Thanks for the video.
I’m a fresh grad with minors in psychology and communications who is trying to break into HR industry. I really enjoyed all the things that mainly had to do with HR such as recruiting new members, training, figuring out the issues of a organization and giving suggestions on how they can improve and more. I used a lot of my time in college to be a member and sometimes even the head of HR for many of my college organizations, with my various duties consisting of the things I stated in the previous statement. It’s hard because I keep getting rejected by companies who prefer people with “more experience”. But I’ll keep going at it and I won’t give up on finding my way into my preferred HR job or any related job I’m interested in.
I've worked in HR & Recruitment for the last 10 years, and it definitely is rewarding! 🙂
Heck yes!! Couldn’t agree more. How did you get into it?
I’m also curious how you got started. Care to share with us?
Looking for new career - HR fits my skills & personality & career goals BUT getting in is catch-22 ! Thank you for confirming what I thought & offering a pathway to the HR maze!
Madeline, thank you for this amazing video. I am 52 and will be retiring from teaching in just a few years and was wondering how to get started now on that journey. I love people and work very well with others. I even have a military background (although that was years ago!). I look forward to finding new information on course careers. Thank you again!
Would love to see more vids on HR careers!!!
What a great review of the benefits of Human Resources roles - such a rewarding option!
Been looking for this. Definitely caught in the catch 22. Will give this a shot.
Rooting for you!
Thanks for the lessons
This video was insightful and helpful. I stumbled into HR in 2017 and now ready to move into other areas like Compensation Analyst roles. Hopefully it will come in the future 😊
Did yu have a previous experience in it? How did yu adjust to it?
@ReeliaNafi No previous experience. And it took about 3 years to adjust since it's many areas within HR. Right now I'm a Generalist, and still so much to learn.
EXCELLENT, Madeline! Thank you!
My pleasure! Where are you in your HR journey?
I got away from it, but miss it, I spent 2 years running a security guard office with no prior H.R. experience, LOVED it, learned SO much, but unfortunately, the company was acquired, and the office was moved out my desired commuting location = (@@SelfMadeMillennial
Wow 😳 exactly what I was looking for I really like HR and idearly your video has helped feel appreciated
I have fully enjoyed working in HR for 13 years just took two year break for other projects. A key point is working onsite is generally a must it is a big time people job requiring high emotional and social intelligence, boundary setting skills ect.. But if working in HR analytics or compensation/benefits design can work from home. I needed to be on site people just respond better to emotional intelligence in person promotes thriving, wellness and high productivity at work. IT is a very demanding job did full cycle recruiting, training, compensation, so much....
This video fell into my lap at the perfect time. I'm in healthcare and I'm MISERABLE! I want to be a part of a team, but everyone in bedside is so jaded and I'm so burned out that I dread going to work. The shift hours are horrid and I'm always exhausted and not wanting to go back. HR has what I'm looking for, a collaborative workplace, A CAREER LADDER, better pay, a positive impact on business, everything. I applied to get an accelerated HR degree, and I could not be more excited to be changing careers.
Great video as always, there are so much values in your social media contents (UA-cam, LinkedIn...) and courses such as "Standout Resume Masterclass", "Fill in Blank Job Hunt" etc.
I am Senior Analytics Manager applying for Senior Manager positions in HR (Analytics or C&B) in Malaysia, so far no luck yet to get such interview opportunities. Do you think the opportunities will come soon or it is not a right switch for me?
Such a informative and well-structured video ~ wonder if non-native speakers/ new immigrants, like myself, can pursue HR career, considering the emphasis on communication skills?
My degree is in Organizational Psychology, with a minor in HR management, which I really enjoyed studying, but was told that it was hard to break in, and never pursued it. But I always thought it’s a good plan B for a career change.
Can I ask what you pursued instead?
Are you the teacher over the Hr course on course careers?
Who knew that I should have been in HR? Every single thing you describe matches up with my personality my preferences and my experience. unfortunately I was sidelined 30 years ago by medical issues. I have not gotten to pursue any of these things in my life. Literally just staying alive and being here for my family, has been a bit underwhelming at times. The hard part is being so financially devastated by not being able to work, and watching people around me enjoying life and attaining things that I could never even dream of. It's hard being a bit of loser, when you have a high IQ, a great deal of aptitude and strong work ethic, and you can't do a darn thing about it. I do what I can to contribute to the world, definitely. It's just not in the way I anticipated when younger, and definitely not in the way the other people understand. A lot of people think being disabled is sitting around eating bonbons and watching TV all day, but that has not at all been my experience. It's not easy at all. I'm still a curious motivated person on the inside, even if the outside isn't keeping up with that.
I have a BA in psychology, and an MA in HE Development but with no working experience so HR has always been unattainable for me to break into. However, I was told to get either a PHR or SHRM certification to back myself up but I was never sure how or where to start for either.
I would recommend going on HRCI website it has all the information for you to take the PHR exam, I would also recommend that you study for the exam it can be tough if you don't study. Good luck
Psychology and HR were on my list when I was about to go the University. Now I’m thinking about going that career pathway. Do I need Psychology’s studies or can I go directly through HR?
I am working with Opendoor. A US based organization but i would need to come to USA and do the job.
Any thoughts from Canadians about HR & Recruitment job market in Canada?
I’m looking at improving my skills at my current job with the bachelors in HR. My current job is speaking front of a classroom student training. And it seems HR is the closest to training degree.
What is the difference in the certificate you gain in your course versus a certificate from Coursera?
I have a question about the course career for HR? can you go at your own pace in this course? My current work schedule is very fluid and is never the same each week so this might affect my time either studying or taking the class itself if these are fixed times. Thank you for the insight .
Yes it’s a digital course where you can go at your own pace
I am trying to transition from sales into HR and I have no idea how to even get started!!
Hi Madeline!
I’m a fresh grad from UCSD and I’ve been wanting to explore and learn the field of HR! This video came at the right time as I have been tirelessly applying to entry-level HR positions. You hit it on the head in that they always require 2-3 years MINIMUM of experience….even though the position was entry-level 💀 This video really helped to spark that hope and confidence in myself, as well as a sense of direction to help prepare myself in order to make me a candidate that stands out! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! Can’t wait for your next video ✨
Does having HR internships experience count?
I have been interviewed 15 days ago but didn’t received any reply on follow up mail while interview the recruiter asked current compensation & Notice period…can I assume rejection
As a Work & Organizational Psychologist with a recent master experience, I did not know about not needing a degree to an HR job. It's kind of sad and shocking for me. All of my efforts was for nothing.
I struggle getting an HR job in Canada, having CPHR Member designation plus 10 years Sri Lankan HR experience plus 2 years Canadian Administrative experience. I am applying to move on to HR since 2022. Now it is 2024. Omg Vancouver...
Hi. First off, I loved the video, and it expanded my interest in pursuing a career in Human Recourses. I've worked in the restaurant industry for almost 30 years. All front of the house positions I excelled in, mostly serving, managing and corporate training. For someone like myself who has been in this industry for so long, what would you suggest if I wanted to pursue working in the HR department for a restaurant corporation? Now keep in mind, I do not have a college degree. The only education I have is a Highschool diploma, and I was a licensed mortgage broker from 2005 to 2008 which required some schooling and exam.
I've been in restaurant industry over 30 years as well, since I've had management experience for 25 plus years my company offered HR position. They also had me take the PHR exam and since I've been in leadership role I was able to take the exam.

My experience is mostly concentrated in administrative work.. I was wondering if I should take coursecareers hr course
I work doing building maintenance and have been in the maintenance industry for 20+ years, I have some management experience . I have a degree in human resources management, but I want to break into this field, but don't know how to.
Hello
I will like to transition into HR, as an assistant / coordinator , recruiting. Employers preferred experience / education .
Is not easy , enjoyed the video , thanks
Are there any remote jobs in HR? I am in southern Mass. Do you have any work here?
Is there a remote position available in hr. I was thinking of taking the course by course careers
Yes there certainly are!
I work full remote in an HRBP role for an online university.
So masters in hr is worthless? However, most hr jobs won’t give you a chance without either experience or a graduate degree. I’ve worked in Hr in the past and I’m trying to get back into it. I’ve had no luck so I’m considering a HR master’s degree . It’s frightening to think that even with a master’s your chances are slim. While I worked in hr in the past, it wasn’t for long . 1 yr only
Hello Everyone! I am a student of American Students in MA and I have a pedagogy Degree in Education. I am planning to pursue this field and companies keep rejecting me.I would be glad for any advices. Thanks in advance!
HR department helps the company look for the right candidate and potential people, the right man to the right place.
Yeah, but they can pick people and reject for petty reasons.
By using HR, you make it clear that you do not prioritize merit.
Don't ever be a suck-up.
Most companies want experience and they dont pay for training
