Human Resoucre departments exist for one thing and one thing only - to protect the company by mitigating the risks posed by having the need to work with human beings.

The HR department of course exists to serve both the functional needs (hiring, training....) of the firm as well as the firms' legitimacy needs (the appearance of intent to act in an equitable manner towards employees to avoid legal sanction or a costly bad reputation). This grim view has validity, but is not the whole explanation of the relationship. HR departments are made up of individuals who for intrinsic reasons, and via norms instilled through our society, are motivated by sources outside of their firm's immediate goals. Like any employee, they have interests that transcend merely making money for the boss. Many folks, at least the biz students that approach me about working in HR, are also interested in creating positive and equitable workplaces for lower level employees (instead of merely appearing to do so as many firm would prefer). Given this, many individuals in HR departments do pressure larger societal needs, or at least pressure for more attention towards such concerns as education, community influence, compensation structure and employee procurement. No surprise that human resource departments arose from both the need for employees in the 1940's and the difficulties of dealing with unions during World War II. Some firms found that using an HR department mitigated employee's feelings that they needed to organize to influence workplace safety and compensation. Anyhow, long answer to a short question.

Human resources is probaby studying to be a human resource generalist. HRM is human resource management, this type of degree would prepare you to be a HR Manager or Director. Typically a bachelors degree is 4 years, but you could do it in 3, some colleges offer fast track programs. I have never really heard of a 1 year bachelors degree. As for the hotel industry if you want to be a manager, then look at business management or administration degrees, an HR degree would be good if you wanted to specialize in hospiltality human resources. Hospitality is a good field to work in, but jobs are competitive, with most hotels, restaurants, and other hospitality enties often promoting from within. Normally these jobs can mean long hours and requring a great deal of customer service skills. If you are looking to get into the field, I suggest securing employment or interning at a restaurant, hotel, country club, or some other type of hospitality entity.

It sounds to me like you are eligible . . . if you have no experience, you might not land your dream job immediately. . . but I would recommend even a lower level HR job for a year or two! It is amazing what a few years of experience can do for your career! I hope this helps . . . good luck!!!

Try convincing them you can do the job despite not having worked in an HR department. Explain how you are interested in recruiting or developing employees. Read some books on the subject so you use the right vocabulary. One man's barrier's are another's stepping stones.
