Hello to everyone,
I am pursuing an MBA with a focus on HR and Marketing (currently in the 3rd semester). I have been selected for a position as an Associate at Wipro BPO. I am seeking guidance from all respected individuals.
1. Can you guide me about the package? They have offered me 1.5 yearly. They have appreciated my communication skills, so I want to know if I will be able to excel in that sector.
2. What should I do – accept this position or should I look for opportunities in the functional area of HR?
Any suggestions or experiences shared are welcomed.
Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Chandan,
You can join it if your college allows you and does not impact your studies. In the 4th semester, people usually do so but not in the 3rd semester. Also, check the work profile with them. If it is something related to HR or even if you are getting some HR industry exposure, then it will certainly help you in getting a job once you pass out.
Go for expert advice.

Hi Chandan,
It is just the beginning of your career, so you should not be worried about the pay package. Rather, you can ask them about your roles and responsibilities so that you can get maximum exposure in the HR field. You are lucky that you are getting a break in a good company. So just grab it!

It is just the work of a tele-caller executive. Any respected senior who has worked in a BPO, I request you to share your experience. You can share with me personally at 
.
I have lots of time to think because they have told me to join before April 14, 2008. Please share.
Waiting for replies.

Chandan,
You can join if it is related to technical call handling, as you would be improving your communication (especially e-mail etiquette), accent, presentability, and most importantly handling customers with patience because in HR, you would require all these skills. Later, you can switch to the HR field. One of my team members has the same background. After completing her MBA, she had worked for Mphasis, Philips for around one and a half years, and then she had switched to HR. Now she is working as a senior executive, and she is the best performer on my team. The choice is yours! Anyways, you have a lot of time to think about this. You can keep it as an option and can try for some other jobs as well.

Maybe you're digging your grave...
For that, just 12 is enough. Even I received an offer from Wipro for this kind of job. I thought it was in HR, but they told me that it's an HR process and I'm just an associate, nothing else. They will treat you as an employee and not as HR.
The choice is yours. By the way, take my advice: use your Wipro offer letter and try to get a decent job in HR. :)
Ensure there is a single line break between paragraphs.

They have appreciated me for my communication skills.
Yes, they appreciate only for communication skills. Even a 12-pass waiter in a 5-star hotel has better communication skills than I have. It depends on what you have to utilize: your analytical, numerical, managerial, administrative, strategic planning skills, or just communication skills.

From the looks of it, it seems like a calling job. On the funnier side, we pay more than them. My organization pays Rs 2,40,00 for freshers in Chennai.
Jokes apart, I guess you should focus on some good HR/Marketing job. You are doing your MBA, right? Why would you want to take up a calling job? Your initial job will be the foundation for your future career growth. Would you want to be facing questions like, "Why did you do a calling job when you were doing an MBA (HR)? Did you not get HR jobs? Were you not able to focus on your studies enough?"
Finish your MBA and look at hardcore HR jobs.

Hi Chandan,
I read your post, and I personally feel it would be better for you to finish your MBA and then search for a job in HR. It feels good to be complimented, but one should never get carried away. If you are specializing in HR and Marketing, please think about why you chose to do so in the first place and what your career path should be.
Money always looks good, and so does the brand image of a company. However, the most important thing one should seek is a good job profile that is fulfilling and where you see yourself growing. The rest is for you to decide.
Kind Regards,

Yes, I agree with Abhilasha. It seems good to get compliments and offers at this age, but you have to look at it from a long-term perspective. There is a good scope for you once you complete your MBA with flying colors. If you are keen on pursuing HR as your career and it is your area of interest, then go ahead like a horse with blinders on. Be focused on your interests, come what may. You may not regret it later.
