Human Resources, Training, and Labor Relations Managers and Specialists

Significant Points

In filling entry-level jobs, many employers seek college graduates who have majored in human resources, human resources administration, or industrial and labor relations; other employers look for college graduates with a technical or business background or a well-rounded liberal arts education.
For many specialized jobs, previous experience is an asset; for more advanced positions, including those of managers, arbitrators, and mediators, it is essential.
Keen competition for jobs is expected because of the plentiful supply of qualified college graduates and experienced workers.
