Mark asks…What kinds of jobs are available in Human Resources?What kinds of jobs are available for those with a Masters in Human Resources? Also what kind of wage can be associated with the positions? Is there a better region of the country to look in for a well paying Human Resources position?Tampa Employee Leasing answers:Most HR jobs (that are non-management) are either Generalist e.g. HR Representative or Specialist e.g. Compensation Analyst in nature. Then there are the HR Administrative positions e.g. HR Assistant.
Experience is the key player with getting a good/good paying HR job with your Masters. I have a Masters in Labor & HR and it did not count for much until I started to gain expereince. Sad but true. If you are still in school, you have a better chance being hired into pretty good HR jobs when companies come to recruit on campus.
As for salary ranges, I’ve seen anywhere from 40′s to 60′s for someone fresh out of graduate school. Industry has a lot to play too in the picture too. Manufacturing I’ve seen generally pays more than the healthcare, retail & education industries just to name a few.
Geography does play a role
