- 2. Current trends As HR professionals advance in their careers it may be the case that different knowledge, skills and abilities are needed to contribute on an advanced level. Past surveys by the SHRM in 2003 and 2005 have found that business professionals place a premium on strong oral and written communications skills and ethics. Best in class organizations not only attain distinctive operational excellence, but also align their human assets with strategies and goals (Schoonover, 2003).
- 3. Why advance your degree? Jobs that require high levels of education and skill pay higher wages than jobs that require few skills and little education. Unemployment rates among people who have a professional degree is significantly lower than that of people who have a high school diploma. Earnings increase significantly as a worker's degree of education rises. Source of Information the Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)
- 4. What are the classes like? The classes are rigorous and each of the courses require a time commitment both in and outside of class. You will be expected to do research, write papers and to present projects in class. Working professionals are able to take two classes per term.
- 5. What can you do with an HR degree? Typical first jobs for Human Resource Management majors include corporate recruiter, employee relations specialist, compensation analyst, corporate trainer, HR generalist, and management trainee. Typical jobs held five-ten years out include HR director, staffing manager, compensation manager, training manager, and employee relations director. Human Resource Management majors are encouraged to become involved in the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
- 6. Do I need any certifications beyond my degree? If so, how long does that take? That really depends on your long term career aspirations. Most employers that seek HR professional like to see an advance degree and SHRM certification (PHR/SPHR/GPHR). While these are mandatory they are preferred.
