Dear All,

Academically, I am a graphic designer, and we have our advertising agency. As it is a family business, I have to do a lot of HR and admin jobs too. But as I don't have any background in HR, I am not aware of what the exact job or responsibilities of an HR person are. Can anyone guide me on this so that I can take on the responsibilities more efficiently?

Thanks and Regards,
Shilpa

Hi Shilpa,

Our friends have given their input, all of which are very perfect. I just want to add one more thing along with that: Time Office Management. That is mandatory for every organization.

Hi Shilpa,

I'm sure you are now aware of the different functions in HR. Well, I could suggest a book that is very basic but could be of great help to you in explaining each aspect of HR. All the functions mentioned above are explained in detail: Human Resource Management by Michael Vaz and Meeta Seta.

Hi,

I am a postgraduate in HR from Welingkar Mumbai and currently working in a BPO in back-office operations. However, I am struggling to transition into HR positions, which is my area of specialization. Despite my efforts, I am not receiving interview calls. After several follow-ups, I have received feedback that my CV is not being shortlisted. I previously posted this query on CiteHR.com but did not receive any responses.

Recently, I have received emails from Naukri and Monster India regarding resume development services. Some of my peers have suggested that I should not invest in these services. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,

In my opinion, HR's most important responsibility is to deal with people first. Whom you choose for your company and what role is to be provided according to their qualification and ability. We have to direct them at every phase of life and also track them to see whether they are in form or not. Your proper coordination and feedback are most important. On the side, take care of all paperwork formalities and keep motivating them by offering gifts, movie tickets either on festivals or on their best performances.

HR is the person who is mostly criticized by their employees. We should be strict regarding the task, but at the same time, we must also know how to make them understand your position.

Hi,

The first responsibility of HR is to take care of employees' interests in such a way that it will enhance and sustain the business. Please don't forget that we can only put pressure on human beings, not on machines. A major job of HR is to create a people-friendly and learning environment where anyone can learn and grow. This is the ultimate objective for anyone working.

It is good that you have completed your Postgraduation in HR. Is it a part-time course or full-time (2 yrs)? What field did you graduate from: science (B.Sc), pharmacology (B.Pharm), commerce (B.Com/BMS), or arts (BA)? This information is crucial when companies review your CV. Additionally, please share details about the project you worked on during your graduation. Highlight your skills, achievements, and new knowledge. Begin by identifying these aspects. Feel free to email me at my mail ID govind_desai2003@yahoo.com. This will help you secure the desired job opening.

Dear sir,

I am working in Ultra Group (Mumbai). My company provides a maximum of 15 days of leave on PL annually. However, the company has decided to only grant leave based on the number of present days, excluding holidays or Sundays. The company calculates the leave entitlement using the formula: present days / 20 days.

Could you please explain how leave is granted for holidays and Sundays?

Thank you.

Hi Viswanath Iyer,

Don't panic if you are not receiving any calls. The best procedure is to update your profile on Naukri, Monster, and other job portals where you have registered yourself every two days. Additionally, there are many formats available on Google, so check them out to find one that matches your profile. There is no need to use resume development services.

Hi Vishwanath Iyer,

Yes, your friends are right that you should not take help from any portal for your CV because no one other than you can write his/her CV in a more effective manner. At this point in time, you are not receiving any HR calls just because there is a lack of HR jobs in India. Hope for the best and never lose hope.
