Struggling to Start an HR Career: How Can I Gain Experience Without a Job Offer?

I have just completed my MBA in HR. The sad part is no job offers require me to hold a degree in HR! The only thing they want is experience. How can I gain experience without starting a job? HR is my passion but, alas, there are no job offers solely for the HR department. From small enterprises to large companies, everybody wants 2-4 years of experience in the HR field, and most of them prefer a male candidate. What should I do?  I just don't know where to get started. What can I do to be practically skilled to secure a good job in the HR department? Please help...

Consider Distance Learning in HR

Why not go for some distance learning courses in HR? That will help you understand why employers are increasingly looking for experience.

The worth of an HR professional increases with experience, as it involves more psychology and tried-and-tested strategies. So, they are not entirely wrong in their approach.
