The big challenge to seeking a job in HR is experience. But where do you go to get experience? Having a degree is certainly helpful, but the experience component is something that recruiters push for (at least from my own experience with HR job searches).
Hope you have landed a job in HR! But if not, I got into HR by starting off as a receptionist in HR and learned as much as I could, then applied when a entry level position opened up. It all took off from there. As a previous recruiter myself, I seen HR Managers hire based off administrative experience for entry level positions such as HR assistant or coordinators.
I'm actually getting my second bachelors in General Business Human Resources and I've been working since 2018 lol so I think i'm ok to take the test(s) once I graduate lol. I'm still working in HR :3.
I have a BA in Communication but no HR experience. However, I do have over 11 years of experience in the banking industry. Any tips on breaking into HR? I sounds like I’m not quite ready for these certifications
I was hired as an HR assistant with no experience in 2019 (GED grad). I was recently promoted to a HR Generalist. The company I work for is wanting me to get certified. Can you please suggest what’s a great route for me?
I think it was a waste in my city. I can't find a job no one will hire me. I have no experience and got a BA degree. Now I'm starting my own business. I feel like I wasted my time in my state.
Ive never needed certification, ged, non college grad, but times are changing, ive been in HR from head hunting, recruiting, on boarding and a director over 10+ years experience. If i were to take a course to have a paper under my belt, the sources you mentioned, are they just the test and certificate or is it classes before the test too? Or do i need to study everything somewhere else before paying the fees for the certification and application fees?
Looking for advice, I have a bachelors in communications (which I know is not related to HR). I have 7 years of experience as a general manager for a corporate owned restaurant and I am interested in getting into HR. Any recommendations? Really just looking to get my foot in the door in a HR role. Thanks !
What do you recommend for a HR Coordinator? I'm doing the linkedin course and I'm really enjoying. Can I use this certification if I don't want to invers on the HCI certification?
I think they’re worth it if your goal is to join Senior Management within an HR department, especially the SPHR. But if that’s not your goal, then I don’t think you need them!
I am working on my associates and would like to Dive into HR but I am finding it sooo hard. What certification would you recommend. That sounds in advance !! 😘 Excellent video
I don't know where you are in your education and experience now, but last I checked the HRCI offers an aPHR (Associate Professional in Human Resources) and it does not require any prior experience. It is only knowledge based so this is a great one for current students or recent graduates to obtain when entering the workforce.
There is some basic math if you go the business admin. route like Micro/Macro economics, financial accounting and managerial accounting. I am terrible at math and passed all of them well enough.
Hi Carmen, I completed MBA in Human Resources from India in 2018 and my degree is equivalent to the USA MBA degree, but I have no experience in HR. Could you please suggest what kind of certificate I Should do to get a job in the USA as I live in Ohio, USA now?
Damn you have to have so much experience or a degree to even take a certification? That sucks. For someone like me starting from scratch. It’s like where do you start
I know this video is dated now but I wanted to mention that SHRM-CP no longer requires experience or job title.
- Thank You so much for the info.
Interesting! That’s for that info!
This is the question I wanted to ask. I have a college 2 year diploma in HR, and have no experience or current role. Can I take the exam?
@@kavitatripathi1409yes!
Outdated but your response has helped
It is definitely an investment. There is also additional cost if you pay for the study materials. So worth it!
Ohhh I completely forgot to mention that, you’re so right!

i appreciate the simplicity. Thank you
Thanks for this video. Exactly what I wanted to know.

Great info … how about for those with a Bachelors but no HR experience? What are the requirements?
Aphr for you fam

thanks! Very useful information, I will go with PHRi : )

How do I know if my job experience is qualified as a professional level HR experience?
I think it was a waste in my city. I can't find a job no one will hire me. I have no experience and got a BA degree. Now I'm starting my own business. I feel like I wasted my time in my state.
What city ?

This is helpful. So you CAN work in HR without a certification... so what are the advantages of having a cert? Does it guarantee you a higher pay?
Yes and also you’ll get promoted faster
@@Jfitness1804 thanks for the insight
No as in most job ads it’s preferred, but not required. In my opinion it really doesn’t prove anything by having it just that you can pass an exam.

I studied communication and we studied a little on Employee Relations that’s in relations to Human Resources
This is great information! Thank you
Very helpful and simple. Thx
Informative video!
Thank you!
What do you think about linkedin learning for human resources?
Thank you for making this video
No problem! :)

Where do you see LinkedIn courses?
Such great and useful information! Ultimately, do you think they are worth it, especially for those with lots of on the job training?

I find it funny how you need HR experience to become HR certified lol.
Most of them know very little, if not nothing about employment law.
Same smh
I agree, it's actually suppose to be the other way round. Get the certification if you don't have an HR degree, then practice.
Hello there, I was wondering if you really need to take math subjects in order to persuade this career, to get a Bach or a master ??
There is some basic math if you go the business admin. route like Micro/Macro economics, financial accounting and managerial accounting. I am terrible at math and passed all of them well enough.

Is there anyway to get around not having any experience in hr and a degree to be eligible to take the phr certification exam ?
I have a Undergraduate Certificate in Human Resource Management, do you think I can find a HR job with this certificate?
Is there a course to take prior to the exam?
I suck at test …. I am really bad. I was not able to become a teacher because of this. I am doing a career change how hard is the test.
Hi I’m not living in USA currently but I wanna get phr certification to work in USA as hr . Is it possible to take an exam online ? Thank you .
Due to covid the exams are done remotely/at home
We want to enroll tell us about it
Just wondering if you have gotten any of these certificates? If not, why not? If you're thinking about it, which ones are you considering?
Damn you have to have so much experience or a degree to even take a certification? That sucks. For someone like me starting from scratch. It’s like where do you start
All depends on how you account for HR experience. If you do anything dealing with employees at all, count that as time.
💯
You lose the money no matter what. If you get audited you lose the entire cost.
