Let's Talk Human Resource Management (HRM) Grad Programs!
#9
Thank you for the additional thoughts and advice!

For some reason, my local HR job market is highly competitive. Even with my experience, I've struggled to even land an HR Generalist job in recent years. As grateful as I am for my current role, I'm largely in it because of who I knew. I'm the only one on a team of 20 that doesn't have an undergrad degree.

HR Specialist, LOA Specialist, and many more positions that I'm overqualified for by experience, have been beyond my grasp, with Recruiters telling me that without a Bachelor's Degree and a PHR, they can't even consider me, since all of my competitors have both.

In fact, there's someone in my department one level below me, who has an MBA, that can't break into Management.

I've done enough research to know that this isn't the case everywhere else, but for some strange reason, the Sacramento region is ridiculously competitive in the HR space. All that said, there's a chance that I'll go get my PHR and then try to apply for HR Manager positions to see how things go before fully committing to a Master's program.
