what kind of background/schooling would I need to become a human resources director?

Question

Where can I look online to find this information?

Answer 1

Schooling is by and large irrelevant; you need experience in human resources with progressively increasing responsibilities. To be seriously considered for a human resources director job, you need to be working directly under a human resources director now (say, as a senior HR manager or regional HR manager). Alternatively, you could have senior-level experience with a staffing and recruiting company or an HR/benefits consulting firm...

Answer 2

You can't just become an HR director. You will need HR experience no matter what your schooling level is. More than likely you can take classes at any business school and work towards an HR degree. But you will have to work your way up the ladder to become a director.
