Hi folks,
Today, I was just discussing with my senior that the name of the company with which you have worked or are working puts a great effect on your CV. He is DGM (Mktg). He said that yes, it does but more for marketing. For HR, it's not like that always, and it left me thinking. So, what do you say about this?

Hi Deepali,
That is a controversial subject!
My views:
Marketing/Sales: Having been in industrial sales and project management, my opinion is that marketing/sales jobs are always industry-specific. By that, I mean that in most occasions, sales/marketing professionals move within a specific tech field where they have experience. For example, it would be pretty tough for someone who has been in the consumer goods market to transition into industrial selling. Therefore, since you are confined to a particular market, your past experience holds significant weight.
HR: HR, like Finance, is a generalist profession. Professionals in HR can transition across industry segments quite easily. Therefore, where you have worked may not carry as much weight. However, this does not imply it holds no importance at all. I believe, relatively speaking, its significance could be at a lower degree.
Thanks,

Hi Dips!
I really do not agree with it. I guess big names matter for all functional areas, but more importantly, what kind of responsibility you have undertaken in your job. Employers look for a thorough and crystal-clear understanding of the work done. As an MBA student in the final year, I have heard that big shots are more disorganized. What do you say about this?

Hi Bala and Gunjan,
Well, Bala, then you will not look for the company if you look for a job. And then why do employers prefer to hire candidates from big companies? Now, Gunjan, as you said big companies are more unorganized, then I must say yes. In fact, I have also seen in India many companies still don't realize the importance of an HR dept. What do you say?

Hi Dips,
HHHH, you are really making brains work a bit more! CVs are a tool that helps an individual sell themselves in the job market, agreed! So, whether it's HR or marketing, the objective is the same.
Okay, let's discuss something debatable that can attract varied views and more participants.

Hi Dips,
I have still not experienced actual work life, but I had interviewed various HR professionals of big companies like Cognizant, PWC, and WIPRO during my summer internship. I guess companies are increasingly understanding the importance of HR functions to increase productivity. HR people are making them realize that they are now business partners. It's mainly some traditional companies that may be viewing HR as not important. In fact, Anil Ambani, in one of his meetings, said that his work is basically managing people.
What do you say?
