Hi everyone,
I am a new member working as an HR Manager in a very small company, the only person in the HR department. The problem is that this is my first job, and I have comfortably completed 5 years with them working in HR. However, now that I have shifted to Delhi, I am not aware of many things in HR as I was mainly doing the work of a recruiter. Can anyone suggest a practical course that would help me justify my 5 years of work experience and secure a good job? In interviews, I am being asked about things like PMS and HRIS, which I have not had much exposure to during my time as a recruiter. Having spent five years in my comfort zone, I would appreciate some guidance on what to do now.

Hey Suriti,
I think you should consider taking up a crash course on Advanced HRM from a reputable consultancy in your city. They will surely update your knowledge on core HR activities such as recruitment, generalist functions (appraisal, PMS, etc.), payroll, and other administrative/MIS activities related to HR.
Look for better options there as it may last for one month with 1-2 hours daily. This course will enhance your knowledge and boost your confidence in demonstrating your experience.

A very simple way to overcome this problem is to just make a search on Google and find some books on HR and Personnel practical and implement them. There are several ebooks on the internet, and I am also sending you some HR materials. I hope this will help you a lot. If you have any questions or queries, feel free to write.

Dear Suriti,
It's good that you have decided to upgrade your skills. Please plan it accordingly. As Anil has shared, please read the material and prepare yourself even before you enroll in the course. A course will help you in certain areas, but you will need to work on your knowledge level. Make a list of all the skill sets and start reading and blogging/micro-blogging on them. This will help clarify your concepts. Once your certification starts, fine-tune your learning and seek information beyond your role through interactions with others. Ensure experiential learning. Keep asking questions here on CiteHR in the area you are working and increase your knowledge level. Find yourself a mentor who will help you in getting your knowledge accurate.
Wish you all the best.
