What's the best way to get into human resources?

Question: I don't have direct hr experience but i've held many leadership positions in my sorority including VP2 years and President for a year. I've done lots of comm. service, i only have 12 hours left to take at UT with a psych degree and minor in edu. psych. Please help! I'm wanting to atleast get some hr experience in Austin.

Answer:
A great way to break into HR and get generalist experience is to work as a personnel coordinator in a staffing firm. Try the biggies like Adecco, Kelly, but look up the American Staffing Association (ASA) to find local companies as well.
