Human Resource Assistant Job Questions & Answers

I'm updating my resume, and I'm wondering if I can list a position that is not an official one for my current employer. My official job title is "Supervisor". I'm assigned to assist our human resources manager. Am I able to call myself a Supervisor and a Human Resources Assistant in my resume? There's no such job title for my location, but I practically do the tasks of a traditional HR Assistant.

I've got a degree in psychology w a spanish minor, and I have been in retail as a sales associate for about 3 years. I was also an office assistant in high school for 2 years. Most requirements for the job say you should have experience in human resources, which I don't yet. How should I relate in my cover letter?

Bookkeeping, Accounting Clerks, Account Collectors, Human Resources Assistant, Executive Secretaries, Administrative Assistants, Customer Service Representative, Insurance Claim/Processing Clerk? I have an opportunity to further my education (I already have an AS) and get a certificate of completion. I want something that is very flexible to move between states (unlike something that requires a state certification). Which would be most useful in a small town?

I am in my early 20s with a BS in Psych and CJ. I want to work in the Human Resources field. How does one get started in this field? Jobs are scarce these days, but the only positions I have found are the director/asst director or generalist. Where does one start? I prefer to work for the govt as I work at the state level now. Not the best paying job, but the benefits are pretty good.
