How do I begin a career in human resources?
I have no degrees, but I have extensive secretarial and office-related experience. How could I get on the road to a career in human resources within minimal time? I hear there's a training course.

The training course you are hearing about is more than likely the study classes for passing the PHR (professional in human resources) exam offered by HRCI. I am a recent graduate and I can tell you it is hard to break into HR without finding someone you know to assist you at the company. I wanted to get into HR and was even willing to take an entry level 8 dollar an hour job (not for long mind you) just to get my foot in the door. I can tell you there are tons of entry level jobs, but the pay is crap. Soooo... I guess to sum it up you need to make a friend in HR at a decent size company (they will have more opportunities thana small company). I passed my PHR exam and have a bachelors in HR management, but knew no one in the area and could not get my foot in the door. One thing you might want to try that I started getting some nibbles from was contacting your local SHRM chapter ( Society for Human Resource Management). They are everywhere in the United States and tend to be very helpful. It is just time consuming waiting for a position to come open at a place you start making contacts at, unless you get lucky. Good Luck! (I still want to go into HR myself, but cannot afford the paycut now to go back to an 8 dollar an hour job)

HELP: What will happen to a Human Resource student after graduation
HELP: What will happen to a Human Resource student after graduation?
I'm an international student studying Accounting in a University here in Australia. Thing is, I think I've chosen the worst course in the world so now, I want to shift to Human Resource. I checked the Skilled Migration List and it says there that I can apply if I'm a Human Resource Manager. Btw, does that mean that I have to become a manager first before I can apply? But how the hell is that gonna happen anyway? It might take me forever to be promoted. All I know is that after graduation, I can apply for a Graduate Visa (temporary) so I can work here for 18 months. After that, I think that's when I can apply for a permanent visa (only if my profession is in the MODL. Please help me guys. I'm so freaking stressed. Can't I apply for migration just as a regular Human Resource graduate?

Human Resource Management is a growth area in all medium to large businesses...there will always be demand for people skilled in this area & if you are passionate about the job & and about people , you will find work... My advice would be to apply for work experience in a range of business & government areas when you start the course & see where it leads ...it may lead to employment on graduation . Lots of luck...

Apart from Human Resources Manager (which you won't qualify for until you've worked in HR for years), there are 4 other Human Resources occupations on the SOL. They are: • 2291-11 Personnel Officer • 2291-13 Personnel Consultant • 2291-15 Industrial Relations Officer • 2291-17 Training Officer http://www.immi.gov.au/asri/a-z.htm#p When you have your degree, you can use your 18 month Graduate visa to get work experience in a related field to enable you to apply for a permanent visa. The occupations are only low priority so a visa will be a long time coming, but as an Australian graduate with at least 2 years of academic study, you can apply for an onshore visa which means that you will be granted a bridging visa to allow you to stay and work here while you wait for your permanent visa to be granted. Of course, all of the above assumes that the occupations will still be listed when you apply and of course there is no guarantee of that.

In negotiation, the two parties create the settlement agreement themselves, or at least try to. So they make proposals and counter propsals, trying to find a middle ground they both can accept. They are free to walk away and never reach an agreement. So there is no guarantee the process will end in a settlement. If it doesn't then they may have to resort to lawsuits etc., raising specter of HUGE legal costs. In binding arbitration, they both agree (ahead of time) that they will submit all their information and opinions to a neutral third party "arbitrator", who then plays the final decision maker, and returns a decision. The decision of the arbitrator is final. Therefore there is little risk of followon lawsuits and high legal bills. This is why many many contracts stipulate that both parties agree ahead of time to binding arbitration.

Not sure what your HR requires. Suggest there is a textbook definition that should form the base of your response. Negotiation is a broad term that can include all of the actions or non-actions for parties to reach a conclusion. Binding arbitration could be considered a susbset style of negotiation as it is a defined means thru which parties reach agreement.
