Hello,
I am a college counselor so I hope I can help you today. A HR certificate would be a great way to go. Since you do not have experience in this field, the key would be to do a few things that would make you more marketable. Along with the HR certificate, check out your local community college for resume writing classes. This will help you to understand what to expect in a good resume and how to pick out a good resume in a pack of many. I would then look at entry-level positions that may not require you to have prior experience. This is a great way to get your foot in the door.
You can also check out http://www.career-search-and-more.com/human-resources-career.html for more information about the hr field.
I hope this helps!

You should consider what aspect of HR would suit you best and focus on that. That is the platform that you grow from. Because HR literally touches each and every aspect of a company, the responsibilities are pretty diverse. HRIS, training and development, benefits administration, succession planning, payroll, recruiting, retention, and the list goes on.
A good HR certificate course can give you a foundation to build on. Because you have experience it could be an easy transition – but it would be wise to speak to people you trust that are in the field and get their feedback and advice.
You should also be aware that the HR function (in many companies) is being more widely recognized as, and charged with being, a strategic arm of the business rather than an administrative role.
