Wtf Entry-level
So I've recently graduated with a master's in management, in total I've spent 5 years in school, 4 in undergrad and 1 in grad school. I held a labor relations internship for 3 months, it was more of an externship. During the intern/externship I began to garner an interest in Human Resources. I've been applying to entry-level positions and majority of the positions I've come across require 2-5 years of experience in HR, how is that entry-level? I at least need a year of experience in an HR role to acquire my SHRM/PHR certification.

Hey Da'Qeayce Swain - I'm gonna let you in on a bit of secret - apply anyway to those jobs. While they would prefer someone with 2-5 years, they will hire you for the job if they feel like you are a good fit for the role. A lot of companies use that to weed out applicants that aren't that serious about working for them.
The best thing you can do is show that you are a quick learner, and are willing to learn from the best! Try to figure out how their mission aligns with your personal interests and beliefs, and how you can be a great culture fit at their company.
You can do this Da'Qeayce! Keep applying!!
