As spring is fully sprung all around me, I am reminded that this is graduation time from many high schools and colleges. So I made providing some basic information about careers in Human Resources a priority this year. This decision was also affected by the number of people who have contacted me in the past six months asking about how to "get into HR" from other careers and other college majors. It appears that a lot of people have discovered an interest in Human Resources - or discovered this site to ask.

You will want to take a look at How to Break Into a Human Resources Career by guest writer, Heather Johnson. Additionally, I wrote about Human Resources Job Prospects and Earnings. I'll be supplementing this careers in Human Resources information over the next week or two, so please check back.

In the meantime, here's a new piece about my recommended job search books for grads. I separated them out from my recommended mid-career job search book recommendations. After all, what new grad is interested in Rites of Passage at $100,000 to $1 Million+? Hmmm, maybe as their second job search book?
