How to jump start a career in Human Resources in Houston Texas?

How to jump start a career in Human Resources in Houston Texas?
I have an MBA in Human Resources and MIS (Management Information Systems), BA in psychology. Only 4 months of experience as an HR admin (temporary assignment) and 2.5 years of experience in QA for a medical device company (just quitted the job because they wanted me to work second shift and decided to stay home with my two year old baby). It has been HARD for me to get a job in HR in Puerto Rico because they all ask for at least 3 years in HR. My husband and I are thinking that we could relocate to Cypress, TX. He is a power plant engineer and I am sure he will find a job but ...Do I stand a chance in Houston Texas or should I quit my interests and stay at home with my two year old? It is NOT easy being a mom and pursue a dream career! Do you think it is the end road for me and I have wasted my time with an MBA? Please advise and be sincere.

PriyaM 		I suggest Monster.com. I work in Human Resources and when I was searching for employment, I got the best response from the companies posted on Monster. Not to mention, I had no HR experience.

My colleague had about 5 years of experience and has her undergraduate in Psychology.

I may also suggest using some of the local temp agencies. A lot of HR positions are contract to hire, temp to hire etc. I think with your education and experience, you can find something soon.

PriyaM 		Given your credentials you might want to try a headhunter. That being said, being able to be a stay at home mother is a tremendous blessing, especially during the early years. If I was in your situation I would try to stay at home with the ninos, if it was financially feasible.

De que parte que Puerto Rico eres? Mi novia es de la gran ciudad de Aguadilla (como dice ella).
