    I would recommed the financial services industry, where much of your training is gained on the job, you can start as an HR Associate, HR Consultant, HR Analyst, then HR Recruiter, there are many opportunities for career advancement. The reason financial services may be a good avenue for you is since everyone uses Banking products and services in every town in America. You can try http://www.monster.com or ww.yahoo.com (jobs) to get some other ideas. Don’t think that you can’t get a job only because you have a HS Diploma? That’s okay! You can take some HR generalist courses at a local community college, or correspondence school. Good Luck! :-)

    1. The best way to “break” into any position is to work as a seasonal, temporary or part-time worker. You can obtain a job through a temporary agency as a receptionist. This is definitely a start in the Human Resources sector of employment.
    2. With a customer service background, you could get a job in a bank or other organization; and later on transfer to Human Resources if and when a position become available.
    3. If you eventually obtain a receptionist position working for a temporary agency, then you can simply fill in for the regular Human Resources clerk when he or she goes on vacations, etc…and gain some experience this way.
    Good Luck!
