You want to get into a field where a major component of your job is to listen to people cry all day? Not high pay, either.

Microagression
Trigger
Safe Space

These terms are no longer the exclusive domain of college campuses, but corporate campuses as well.

If you don't have an empathy score of 10/10 that will be a living hell for you.

Oh, but back to your question...yes, entry level is the way to go in any field if you do not have connections and want to advance.

HR is the most bureaucratic element of the most bureaucratic corporations

It's a cesspool of uselessness

The major component of HR is to keep the company from being sued. It's a miserable, highly bureaucratic field full of a bunch of morons.

Check out SHRM . Org

Get any certificates you qualify for, and you will most likely need to start low to gain experience.

Another option would be to apply to small companies that have a consolidated accounting)HR function. But, you'll need to be comfortable with the accounting work (most are bookkeeper level w minimal decision making)

You know the difference between a debit and credit, and what assets, liabilities, and equity are? If so, get familiar with quickbooks and apply

If you have to ask ... I fear you may have selected the wrong career.
