Basically, your interviewer tend to look at your qualifications and place you were your expertise lies.

You'll need the experiences to show that you can manage people. Stick to your IT profession. Get involved in leading a team. And the results from leading them will help you in getting a job in the HR department.

Get to know people who are from the HR "world". Get them as your reference however, you'll need to weave your way through by proving yourself that you are capable to handle HR.

Unless someone offers you a HR job... Keep trying and don't give up. I am sure you will get to where you want to go in your career.

Good luck!!
