Difficult Field to Get Into
This is the million dollar question for me... how do I get a foot in the door?? I have an MBA, Master's Certificate in HRM, and currently getting my doctorate in Public Administration. I have taken a lot of HR courses, but have no experience beyond interviewing, training and on-boarding while in supervising positions. I have applied for entry level level HR positions and cannot even get an interview. I am unable to get a internship b/c I have to work full time to pay the bills and going to school online.

Sounds like you are over qualified. Good luck to you dear!
I’m getting my aPHR; you should too.
Are you a member of SHRM (Society of Human Resources Management)? Do you have any Human Resources certifications (SHRM CP or SPC, or HRCI PHR or SPHR)? Those certifications will take you leaps and bounds over other candidates. Also being a member of the organization will open many networking opportunities up for you. Are you on LinkedIn? Lots of connections there as well.
Change your cover letter, focus on the quality you can bring to the company. Accomplishments you have achieved.your a leader address yourself as one, meaning express yourself.
Try Robert Half agency or Randstad agency temp to perm. They are the best in the HR field
Just hang in there and have good positive attitude. Believe in your self and know that god can do all and is in control.
Debrah, check out Career.com, Monster.com, Dice.com, Indeed.com, select Government jobs as well. Check your state "Unemployment Office Work Source website". LinkedIn.com as well. Also update your resume. Volt.com is yet another site. Are you willing to relocate? Best Wishes!
Some companies may feel that you are over qualified, which is only a easy excuse not to hire you. And last but not least, how old are you? These are just a couple of undermined terms. All you could do is stay on job search!
Look to other schools for help in getting the position u seek read the newspapers n maybe get a job at the company u like n train from the inside up
