Many scholars who are pursuing human resource management degrees online may be intimidated by the prospect of searching for jobs in a tough economic climate.

However, a national recruitment company recently revealed that jobs in this field are starting to crop up throughout the U.S. For example, the organization said that more than 100 human resource positions are available in Northern California.

The company reported that ideal candidates for these jobs should have experience in college degree programs as well as some background in recruiting, sales or business. Individuals may consider enrolling in contract management training courses or taking online college courses in a similar field.

The company stated that many of the available positions are in the technology sector. Thus, any scholar who has completed computer support technician training or who has earned cyber crime justice degrees online may be qualified to apply.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the the number of employment opportunities for human resource professionals will increase by 22 percent over the next eight years, which is much faster than the growth rate for most U.S. industries.
