Anybody here have experience with the human resource department of a business?

It depends on the business/type of business--and if the HR department itself is well run.

Also depends on your resume and what you were doing throughout college. Were you actually just in classes?? Were you also doing stuff on campus??

Wow! Have you got troubles to overcome. This is probably a 10.

First, companies in the US hate to hire people over 40. ERISA, passed back around 1978, has ended up mandating higher insurance premiums for employees over 40. So you cost a company more. Blame Congress, et alia, in their idiocy.

Next, you'll have a general liberal arts degree with no clear path to any sort of job/career whatsoever. No specific job skills. Nothing which is a clear and direct sell to any employer for anything anywhere.

Third, bachelor's degrees are a glut on most markets to begin with, and you are competing with 21/22 y.o.s with fresh degrees.

Fourth, employers will consider you sat on your butt for the past 30 years or more, and have done nothing with your life, achieved nothing of the slightest significance.

So you have to decide what you want to do with your life, what skills & abilities you can offer which some employers somewhere would really want. You have to overcome a lot of objections! Prove you have a strong work ethic, prove you have done something significant with your life (& not sat on your a$$), prove you can be useful - and prove you can do it better than "some dumb kid" who has done nothing but sit in a classroom for their entire life to date.

Tough job of selling, but you have to do it, or give up all hope. Now get your ducks lined up very carefully!
