The effort you put in will pay off. I have four years experience with a large business, but don't know where to start. In your studies you looked at issues from an employers viewpoint. Now, you can take that knowledge and market yourself to prospective employers. Students continually ask me how to get started in the human resource field.
Many people working in human resources start in other positions.
Remember all managers are human resource managers. So you can get experience and develop skills from any position that you can at some point apply to a HR position. Identify your skills. A good networking group for those interested in a career in human resources is the Human Resources Association of Nova Scotia. I am 53 and have to find a job or sink.
