Doing postgraduate degree in Human Resource Management or Industrial Psychology?
People think they are basically the same, but they are not. Is there anyone who is studying this or already working in one of these areas? I would like to know which would be better to study? Human resource Management or the Industrial Psychology? How do they differ in the work you will be doing and the people you work with. How are they different in job oppurtunities and the income you will get? please do not give me website where I can go and read about the information... I need someone who has first hand experience please!

This isn't exactally the answer you were looking for, but get an MBA instead. It is infinitely more diverse, you wouldn't be capped or pigeonhold into Human Resourses if you later decide you want to climb the corproate ladder. Also if you are looking at a HR career, I can't imagine that an MBA would be much of a liability, where if you are looking to expand your career into management, a degree in Industrial Psychology might not help there.

Hello. I have a graduate degree in Human Resources (Master of Science in Human Resource Management). Both degrees are quite interesting. The HRM degree has more of a business focus with a some of the behavioral stuff and the IP is more of behavioral. At this juncture in your education, you really want to clear a path of which direction you want to go. Do you want to be business person? Let's say a strategic business partner? Or, do you want to study the behavior of employees? As far as job opportunities go, both are great. You can probably go the same places with both. Most CEO's and even hiring HR managers don't know the difference. The HR degree gives you a more well rounded business background and the IP degree gives you a more well rounded research background. Hope this helps you decide. I knew when I went for my MSHR that I wanted to start my own training company 5 years ago. It has been invaluable.

what degree would i need to work in the human resources department
| what degree would i need to work in the human resources department? my friend recommended me to work in the human resources department because he told me its interesting. my questions are 1. what is this human resources department 2. what places have a human resources department 3. i live in ny do lots of human resources department exist 4.what degree would i need to work there is public administration a good degree Higher Education (University +) - 4 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 HR departments manage all files related to employment with any particular company or organization. I would suspect that there are a great many jobs like this in NY. You need at LEAST a bachelors degree. theoretically, any field, but business management is probably the best. 2 A degree in Human Resources would be helpful. 3 A business degree would work best. At my school you can major in Management with a concentration in Human Resources....I'm not sure but maybe other colleges offer a Human Resources major. If you think its what you really want to do, then find a program as specific to Human Resources as possible. 4 Some schools have majors especially for human resources called Industrial/Organized Psychology- or basically business psychology. 1. Human Resources basically handles information for employees- set up interviews or orientation, addresses, hours, some handle payroll, insurance benefits, and also if an employee has trouble with another employee such as violence or harassment. 2. All businesses do have hr departments, some may be on site or some may be located in the headquarters for the business. 3. Yes HR is a promising field just about anywhere. 4. I would go for Industrial/Organized psych if your school has it. If not, your school should have a career services office and you can ask them what would be right for you. |

Using a social work degree to work in Human Resources
Using a social work degree to work in Human Resources?
I'm pursuing my MSW degree right now, but am looking to keep my options open to more career ideas, because being an actual "social worker" may not have many opportunities where I live! Does anyone know if having a social work degree would be an appropriate prerequisite to work on human resources? Obviously i may have to take some classes in employment law and compensation/benefits, but I would think a social work background would still be very useful in HR? Do you know any social workers that work in HR, either at a private business or for the gov't?

Honestly while the skills you have as a social worker might be beneficial to the employees, the companies themselves are more interested in people with experience and training in business law, compensation issues, liabilities, worker's comp, benefits, insurance claims, etc. To best answer your own question you should start looking at the major job search sites (hotjobs or monster, or your site of choice) and search our and look at the HR jobs currently available, so you can see what the employers are seeking for experience/education.

Yes, indeed a social work background will help you to interact with the people in the organisation. But , I am not sure that if there is any such requirement in HR field .You can search through internet, thanks

Actually I think that in these days and times, law schools would happily accept someone with an HR background. Remember companies are being sued every time they downsize by employees, so people familiar with the laws already would be a welcome asset.
2
Ironically, any degree outside of Pre-Law/Political Science is preferred. (I've heard this from many schools.) The problem is, students of PoliSci programs get a general understanding of politics and the law; however, they tend to think that will push them ahead in the law school setting. The reality, though, is that their undergraduate curriculum is only a drop in the bucket for the kinds of topics/ideas/questions they will encounter in law school. They go through 4 years of training, committing various theories and laws to memory, only to find out that it's a matter of how you *think* and process information that will influence your success. (This isn't to say that they show no promise; it's just that they tend to be no better off when entering the law program as other disciplines, contrary to what they think will be the case.) Law school professors have told me that they spend a lot of time trying to reverse the concrete thought patterns of these students, so that they can be open to the very unique patterns of thought required in virtually all J.D. programs. Having said that, and in answer to your question, a degree in HR would no doubt be very helpful to you in law school. You will learn many valuable skills in your undergraduate program, and you'll be able to bring those skills and knowledge to the metaphorical table of law school - to better analyze, interpret, and generally study the law. Additionally, you'll have the insight later on to tackle more than just law in a trial setting. You could manage your own firm or head up a team of corporate attorneys. Your skills will be a means to set you apart from the competition, making you more valuable to potential employers. Law school is so different from undergraduate studies, and it's good to be prepared to face the challenges head on with a diverse background and an open mind! *Note: One adjunct professor I spoke with last year told me that two of the best attorneys he knows are, strangely enough, music majors - and both trumpet players at that! People don't tend to associate music degrees with law success, but they're living proof of the power of diverse educational backgrounds! Best of luck! :)

you should look into a degree in IO (industrial and organizational) psychology. You probably have most of the credits you need with your psych degree. These are the people who design workplace environments, do research on what keeps workers happy and productive, hiring, customer relations, alot of things. after a few years and with the right company, you can easily expect a nice six figure income.

I don't know what country you are from, but in Canada a Human Resources Specialist is well sought after. The "baby boom" generation is getting older and most organizations are trying to find ways to keep the employees that they have. I don't know if you can get a degree in Human Resources, but in Canada you can go to technical schools to get your diploma and in University you can take your Business Admin degree and specialize in Human Resources. As you already have a degree in Psychology it is not too far of a stretch to obtain more education in Human Resources. The goal is to look for programs that focus on health & wellnes, balance between work and home, pension and benefits, conflict resolution, dealing with difficult people and last but not least, how to motivate people. You have already received the training on "people" but you need to focus on the human aspect of people. Such courses are normally not available through Univeristy but they are offered through Colleges. If you live in the United States then there are probably local Colleges that offer this type of program, you could probably search on-line. You can also ask the University that you have just graduate from to see if you can take a couple of extension courses that are designed for this career.

Human Resource Management or Human Resource Development?
Could I still get a job as a human resource manager with a degree in human resource development which is the easier route to take between the two?

Don't know what that is, your highered.
2
The short answer is yes. Be mindful that the essential difference is that the HR Manager route allows for more of an operational (day-to-day management roles and responsibilities) basis, while the HR Development is geared for the "people" (human behavior) side of HR. Actually, if you continue to take course in both you'll be in a great position when you graduate because you'll have courses that have exposed you to operations as well as personnel. One of the shortcomings of HR in the so-called "real world" is that too frequently the HR Manager is aligned with an academic background that focused on one aspect (operations) at the exclusion of the other (personnel). The reality of most HR positions is that the individual needs to be competent with both sides of the house. With your B.A. (or B.S.) in hand, you'll see as you consider positions in the HR field that either degree is suitable ... however, larger, more processing or manufacturing types of companies tend to favor the HR Management degree over the HR Development degree. The solution to that is to not apply at large firms. At the same time, there is a need in the corporate sector for HR Development Specialists or Consultants. You may find it more lucrative to "hang out your own shingle" for HR services if you eventually get your degree in HR Development. I hope this information is helpful ... good luck!

First, I would just like to say that the post before me is very rude, and completely unhelpful and unnecessary. I don't think you'll be writing lol on any resume, so to take Y!A that seriously is just ridiculous. That said, since you say you have had experience in the field you are wanting to go into, as well as having just finished your degree in HR, you would be the perfect candidate for employment. Most companies, even more than education, value the experience more. It's easy to find someone with a degree, but if they don't have the experience, they become much harder to train than someone without a degree but a significant amount of experience. You having both the experience, and now a degree, should have no trouble finding a job in HR. Equally important is having a great personality and excellent interviewing skills. These two things can help you land a great job; we all know how much impact a first impression has. There's plenty of tips to have a great interview, and numerous articles on interviewing etiquette. Good luck to you in finding a job. I wish you the best!

Hi Evan, Congratulations on your degree! Just so you know...many Human Resource departments are separate from payroll. I just so happen to be an HR Manager who manages both HR and payroll. I received my payroll experience first in an entry level position with a national payroll company - where I was promoted to supervisor and was able to work on the HR piece. Paychex was a wonderful to work for because they don't hire people with payroll experience, they looked for people with customer service experience because they teach you everything you need to know about payroll. Companies like that are an excellent place to start. My suggestion would be to find either an entry level payroll position to gain the experience or find an entry level HR position. If funding allows, join SHRM or similar human resource associations. Even if you don't have the money, you can get their newsletters and attend some of their functions. Smaller companies, unable to pay the big bucks for a separate HR department would also definitely be looking for someone who might not have all the HR bells and whistles yet, but an up and coming self starter such as yourself would fit the bill. Also look for HR groups on social networking sites like LinkedIn. I belong to several.

First off thanks for your military service. Congratulations on getting your degree. You should feel no reason to apologize or explain whay you are getting out especially while you are holding your daughter. I wouldn't worry about not having payroll background. Most companies do not have payroll and HR under the same manager for risk management. I am sure there are a lot of companies who would be interested in hiring you but a lot of that depends on where you live or plan to live once you get out. Keep in mind Vet's get a higher priority for jobs in the government sector or government contracting companies. So companies like Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing, etc. would welcome you if they have openings. Federal, state, county, and city governments the same holds true. What you really want to focus on is your interviewing techniques, why you are the right fit, and asking for the job. Below are a few sites to help you prepare. You do not have to purchase any books there is plenty of information on the internet to prepare you. I hope this helps and wish you all the best in landing a position in HR. Good luck

Hi Evan, Congratulations on your degree! Just so you know...many Human Resource departments are separate from payroll. I just so happen to be an HR Manager who manages both HR and payroll. I received my payroll experience first in an entry level position with a national payroll company - where I was promoted to supervisor and was able to work on the HR piece. Paychex was a wonderful to work for because they don't hire people with payroll experience, they looked for people with customer service experience because they teach you everything you need to know about payroll. Companies like that are an excellent place to start. My suggestion would be to find either an entry level payroll position to gain the experience or find an entry level HR position. If funding allows, join SHRM or similar human resource associations. Even if you don't have the money, you can get their newsletters and attend some of their functions. Smaller companies, unable to pay the big bucks for a separate HR department would also definitely be looking for someone who might not have all the HR bells and whistles yet, but an up and coming self starter such as yourself would fit the bill. Also look for HR groups on social networking sites like LinkedIn. I belong to several.

First off thanks for your military service. Congratulations on getting your degree. You should feel no reason to apologize or explain whay you are getting out especially while you are holding your daughter. I wouldn't worry about not having payroll background. Most companies do not have payroll and HR under the same manager for risk management. I am sure there are a lot of companies who would be interested in hiring you but a lot of that depends on where you live or plan to live once you get out. Keep in mind Vet's get a higher priority for jobs in the government sector or government contracting companies. So companies like Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing, etc. would welcome you if they have openings. Federal, state, county, and city governments the same holds true. What you really want to focus on is your interviewing techniques, why you are the right fit, and asking for the job. Below are a few sites to help you prepare. You do not have to purchase any books there is plenty of information on the internet to prepare you. I hope this helps and wish you all the best in landing a position in HR. Good luck

Can I get a Human Resources position with this degree
Can I get a Human Resources position with this degree?
I am getting my degree in political science from the University of West Florida with a major in Pre-Law and a minor in Law & Social Issues. Could I possibly get a position in Human Resources while I go to graduate school? Or do you need a specific degree like HR or Business for that? Thanks for your help! If I can't get into HR with my degree what could I do with it?

Use your HR expertise to find a solution.

Congrats!:) Be honest if you go for interviews, on your resume say that you are looking for experience. Check with some post secondary institutes, they're good at hiring people who need experience.
3
Brainstorm. Write a list of all your jobs, paid and volunteer. Under those jobs list all your skills and experience. Write a rough draft of your resume and a boiler plate cover letter (you will want to customize each for each job - but it's nice to have a starting point.) Take all of the above and make an appointment with your school's career counselor. He/she will help you get your resume polished and highlight how your previous experience relates or gives your additional value as an employee. The counselor will also be able to answer other questions that come up and give you an idea of the job market and things that have worked for other people. Once you have a polished resume and a game plan, apply to some positions that you don't care if you get them or not. Think of these as practice. If you get an interview, all the better, you can practice interview skills. Sometimes you might stumble upon a job that turns out to be a good choice this way - but this practice is important for when you apply for a position you really want. Congratulations and good luck!

What better way to know HR, than to be a worker yourself? List all your career experiences and your educational ones. You can also try to either find a niche in HR, such as compensation, workplace laws, or training, some companies look for specific niches when hiring for their HR departments. Another thing to do is to market yourself as an HR generalist. You could also join a professonial organization like the Society of Human Resource Management and earn some of their credentials. I would also look at obtaining a job as an HR director or manager at a small or nonprofit company, to gain experience, most large companies require anywhere from 5 to 7 years experience.

I am in a total slump. I have a B.S. in Sociology, and a M.Ed. in Media. I have 10 years experience in K-12 that I hated. I am desperate to change my career.

You won't be overqualified with a master's - management positions have been leaning upward to the master's level for some time now. You are going to find yourself far too inexperienced for generalist HR management positions and not specialized enough for the specialist positions except for one: Training and Development is a function of HR and your teaching experience, if you can adapt to androgogic methods as opposed to pedagogy, has value in the business. Sociology and Education are both excellent foundations for positions in organizational development. In fact, it's likely that a degree in HR wouldn't be needed at all but instead a certificate or a few courses for background. The problem there is that HRD (Human Resources Development) is very often not "a job" so much as it's a consultancy. A Training and Development Specialist can move into an HR Management generalist position without the degree in HR Mngt but will need some serious continuing education in compliance, staffing, benefits, and compensation without an MA/MS in HR. Take a look around the ASTD webpages and see if this is possibly a direction you'd like to consider. http://www.astd.org/

I am not sure if there is such thing as Master's degree in Human Resources. But there is a MBA with emphasize in Human Resources. To get into MBA you first have to take GMAT test and you have to score pretty high on it, since entrance to MBA program is really competitive. Also to get into MBA, the school typically asks you whether you have a previous business experience (preferably in management setting). If you can somehow prove that you have a adaquate experience, you may be accepted into the program; if not, you will have to gain the appropriate work experience first. So MBA is a good degree but it is really hard to get into the program. Also thing to consider is while you are taking MBA you won't be able to work at the same time (the program is very demanding), so there will be some financial loss there. But if you absolutely hate the current job, the why not, go for it! you will have to study freallyhard though, if not during the program, at least to GET INTO the program

Depends on the program and/or school to which you're applying. I assume most MBA schools require a GMAT. If there's some other Master's of Human Resources program through an other-than-business field of study, you may instead need to take the GRE. For example, human resources may be studied through an applied psychology or other social science. In this case you'd likely need to take the GRE.
2
Check with the university you plan to attend. The course data will be listed on a website, and it will state all of the requirements. Usually, the GMAT is taken for buisness courses, but some places let you chose.

It depends upon the school/program. At the school where I profess the Dept of Social Science / Public Admin (GRE) has Labor Studies and Human Resources. The Business Dept has Management (GMAT).

Whether a specialist or a generalist, the career paths have several levels beginning with basic administration and leading to management positions up to and including the Vice President level.

you might want to consider getting a bachelors instead since that can open up many other options since many companies prefer to hire folks with 4 year degrees. a 2yr HR degree could help you get an entry level job in an HR department but it is unlikely to get you anything beyond the admin level (hourly job) unless you have experience as a recruiter, compensation analyst, etc.

you might want to consider getting a bachelors instead since that can open up many other options since many companies prefer to hire folks with 4 year degrees. a 2yr HR degree could help you get an entry level job in an HR department but it is unlikely to get you anything beyond the admin level (hourly job) unless you have experience as a recruiter, compensation analyst, etc.

You can't get an associates degree in HR, you have to get a degree in business management and take up a concentration in HR.

I'm not much more experienced than you are since I am currently working on a Masters in HRM. In undergrad I only minored in business, but all of my electives were HR classes. I majored in psychology which I think has helped a bit. You may want to see if your school offers any psych classes that specialize in behavior or organizations. I'm currently interning for a hospital system in the HR department. You will definitely learn more from an internship than you will sitting in a classroom. So far it has only served to increase my interest in the field.

What degree do I need to get a job in Human Resource at major hospital? 10 PNTS BEST ANSWER?
Associates, Bachelors.. or do I even need a degree?
Higher Education (University +) - 4 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1
Bachelor or Masters Business administration
2
Bachelor's in business management, h.r. management, or labor relations. Experience working in a hospital setting (even outside of h.r.) is a good plus.
3
Bachelors in Business management with a concentration in Human Resource. This is what I have been told from someone who is a HR specialist.
4
The other answers you received are great. Can I be the naysayer here and say that a degree is not a BFOQ for many HR jobs? You could be degreeless and instead earn some HR designations (like the PHR/SPHR or a CCP/GRP or the CEBS designation, etc.) It really all depends on *which* job you're trying to get and whether or not there is an organizational culture of bias against those without degrees vs. those with significant work experience. Remember, Bill Gates didn't complete his studies at Harvard and he did OK in life.

Human Resource vs Human service. Advice on HSS degree and careers PLEASE :)?
I am currently a student attending a university and I am looking into the Human Science and serivice major. I looked at the salaries and saw that a human social worker makes $20,000 a year. Which theres no point in going to college if I'll be making that. On the other hand, Human Resource can make triple digits. Would degree would I need to take in order to be in human resource?

Whoa! Triple digits? I'm guessing some of those are after the decimal point. My mother has worked in human resources her entire adult life and has a master's degree. She makes 36,000 a year in an area where you can't get a home for under 400k. Her wage is similar to her friends who have similar experience and work in HR. Business or human resource management would be appropriate degree for this field.

Yes, Do be a generalist, but for your own sanity stagy away from Benefits administration.

If you own a degree - or any alternative qualification - then you'll already be in front of of the bunch when it comes to looking for vocations. My mate has a degree and he wasn't certain what direction to go with it, eventually he went in a completely different direction, he earns his keep from Google alone. Have a look at the site below.

PR is totally about communications! Yes, it can and will help. A HRS is, in most cases, it's own degree program.
2
Yes. The degree will certainly help, for a start towards getting the job. The ultimate career in PR and HR will very much depend on yourself, what you have learnt and apply, your personal traits and personality. For example, in PR - you need to have the likeable personality, you need to be able to "relate" to people, and you need to be able to project for the company you work for, providing the value add to the company's reputation and business. For HR, your traits are similar, but on the "quieter" side - you must have the trait to be able to look after your people's welfare, plan their careers, their interests, administration etc... both are demanding jobs too.. Good luck in your endeavours in the interesting, yet tough assignments.
3
Human resources is definitely a different thing from PR. Human resources is about hiring employees for a specific company - there's nothing public about it. Communications majors are usually about being on TV or radio, writing advertising. It's closer. I remember reading not long ago that there really isn't a major in public relations - you need to get yourself an internship.

Think about this, you are running a business and hire your friend to run your business. Would you let her immediately hire and fire? I would hope not. With your marketing degree, you will have a great option of traveling the world, and if you work hard, can reach a high position in your firm. Those who are at the high end of the corporate world, typically get to decide what staff to keep. Forget about what your friends says, focus on your education and do your job well!
2
Just tell her this. Over 50% of today's CEO / President working for Fortune 100 companies came from Sales or Marketing. So far, no CEO / President from a Fortune 100 companies started in HR. I think this will shut her up. I have a lot of friends now who are working for major companies like Best Buy, Circuit City, GE, Toy's R Us, Costco, etc. started from Sales or Marketing. They are making over 200k a year. You have a lot of potential ahead of you.

Marketing is great, I wish my degree had been in that instead of general business. You can add creativity and your own flair to a lot of things and have fun with different aspects of it. HR is stuck to knowing rules and regulations for this, that, and the other. Hers may be great for her, but if you like marketing then yours is just as great - for you! HR is more than just hiring and firing and if that's all she thinks there is to it, she may get a big wake up call regarding that. Enjoy your internship and ignore her. Go for what you want!

It has been my experience that a good sales representative or marketing director will leave a HR person in the dust. HR is nothing but headaches for doing a thankless job. If something goes wrong, they're the first in the line of fire. In most cases they're glorified payroll clerks and very rarely ever get to use their para-legal knowledge. Marketing is creative and expansive limited only by your imagination. In her case, it sounds like a bunch self-grandizing in the face of personal insecurity. Regarding your job status, you were selected because you were seen as the best person for that position. The decision was not made in a vacuum nor by one person.
5
are you doing what you like? If so, then the HELL with your friend. There is no need to be jealous of her... USUALLY, people in HR Departments are usually the most DISLIKED people in ANY company......if you don't believe THAT, go look at the HR department in ANY state agency.!!! That said, your "friend" sounds rather immature if you ask me.... but as long as YOU are pleased with the way your life is going and your job---WHO CARES that someone else can hire and fire someone--don't forget---someone can ALSO hire and fire HER as well !!!!
6
Seriously if all your friend can think about is hiring and firing she is in for a rude awakening. Our economy is struggling for good talent, which is why us marketing people get into recruitment and make multiple six figure salaries. We are here to support the HR people who cant find anyone to hire - more or less fire. Tell her good luck, then you go get your marketing degree, land a great job making hundred's of thousands, and send her postcards from the wonderful places you visit on your sick salary. She can put them up in her cubicle in some dingy smelly HR office.
7
In the long run, you will make about 3 times her income, at the least..... so tell her to make fun while she can!!!
8
Wow she will be stuck behind a desk all day and have to deal with complaint after complaint. How fun. NOT!!! With a marketing degree, you can become a buyer for a store, work in advertising and promotions and travel all over, you can work in public relations, and can even become an event coordinator, all of this while knowing how businesses purchase, display, place, distribute, and promote their store and products. You can also work with a diverse group of people and open your own business. Once again, she is stuck in an office (or cubicle) and deal with all the crappy employees, drug screening, and having to know she has to fire people (which will eat at her heart after awhile). Sounds like you got the better end of the deal.
