Dear all,
I am working in a 5-star hotel as a SENIOR HR ASSISTANT, earning a salary of Rs. 7000/- per month. I am 26 years old (D.O.B 11-07-1986).
My father was working as an A.P. Govt. School Teacher. Unfortunately, he died on 27-09-2011, due to ill health while he was in service.
Andhra Pradesh Govt. is offering me a Govt. job as a Clerk (10+2 Qualification) (Group IV) in some govt. office. The salary would be between Rs. 12000/- to Rs. 17000/-.
I got an offer from X hotel as an HR Executive with a salary of Rs. 15,000/-. The reason I rejected it is that I have been with my current employer since Feb-2010, and I would like to complete at least 2 years of service.
My qualification is M.B.A (HRM), and I have 3 years of experience in the HR field. In March - 2011, my company is going to hike my salary, but it won't reach Rs. 10,000/-. I may also receive a promotion.
I have completed M.A. (History), M.Phil (Management), and I am currently pursuing MSc (Psychology) through distance mode.
My wish is to continue in the HR field as I love this profession. I am good in Statutory and Staff Welfare.
I do not wish to work in government service because if I choose a government job, I would have to be in a remote area, and due to job security, I may become idle.
If I decline this job, there is no one else in my family to take this opportunity (my mother is aged). I am the only option.
Dear seniors, please suggest to me which one I should prefer, either the government job (clerk) or the private job (HR).

In private, you can do and work more. Do accept the offer of the $15,000 hotel job and do your best. Clerk means Group C; just check if it is Group D or C because now the government doesn't recruit Group D people. Group D includes safaiwala, driver, etc. If you like statutory things, then you have a lot of scope. Okay :) Cheers and enjoy.

Dear Dinesh,
Let me be very practical in this regard. If the government job offered to you is on a permanent basis, then irrespective of salary, please go ahead and join it. I understand that you have little interest in this, but with time, slowly and gradually, you would generate your interest there.
My opinion is to go ahead and grab the opportunity. In the private sector, people do whatever, but there are very fewer chances of a secure career, which you would also realize one day.

Dear Dinesh,
My advice to you: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER try for a clerical job in any State Government.
With your qualifications of MA, MBA, MPhil, I would never advise you to take a job as a clerk in the Government where horses and asses are equated, more particularly in State Government organizations. I don't know about the grouping of posts in the Andhra Government organization. But, I feel you are misinformed about the Group-IV post, which is normally equivalent to just a peon in any Government office. Clerks in Government offices are normally in Group-III (or Group-C) cadres.
Even if the post is clerical, the worst thing would be when you will have to work with people with a qualification of 10+2 in your own cadre of service, and you would feel quite downgraded. Not only that, when you would have to work as a subordinate below someone much less qualified, you would feel frustration and regret why you chose that career. By that time, you would be overage to opt for some other good career or to revert back to a lucrative career from such a low category job. Promotional avenues would be rare in the Government department unless you qualify for different competitive examinations of the department you are posted.
Better try for a good job in a reputable company. However, if you wish to join Government service, with your qualifications, you must try for some Group-A (Class-I) post of the Central Government, which you can compete for through the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC). With your age of 26 years, you are very well eligible to take the competitive tests (Preliminary & Main) of the UPSC.

Dear Dinesh,
If the people around you are more literate and knowledgeable about jobs, only then should you follow their advice. Otherwise, use your own judgment to assess the pros and cons of lower-level jobs with higher qualifications. You should be the judge of your own decisions. Your career should depend on your own wisdom, not on the pressures from your surroundings. Ultimately, your future success will be determined by your choices, not by blindly following others' opinions.
If you are specifically interested in Government jobs, I can guide you on a path to directly reach a Group-A (Class-I) position within the Central Government. This would enable you to potentially become a collector/District Magistrate or reach even greater heights within the Government of India. Each year, the Government of India recruits high-level officers through the UPSC, with the minimum qualification being just a basic degree in any field - whereas you possess three higher qualifications. You have the potential to achieve great success in your career, but settling for a clerical job could hinder your progress and limit your career growth in the long run.
I can only offer you my best wishes for your future endeavors.

Just listen to people you are close to - your family, relatives. It's very easy to say to go for a regular job and try for UPSC/IAS, but in reality, it is not as easy as it seems. Missing the opportunity that you are currently presented with may lead to regrets in the future.
Go ahead and join the job. You can also continue trying for higher opportunities while working in that job. Nobody has said that you should stop trying.

Dear Seniors,
I have decided to pursue a career in the HR profession. I feel that my degrees hold little value as they were all obtained in India. Currently, I am earning Rs. 7000/- per month, and if I were to secure a position elsewhere, I would not expect a salary exceeding Rs. 15000/-.
In order to enhance the credibility of my qualifications, I am considering undertaking a diploma course in HR or Training & Development in a Western country.
Is this a sound decision? If so, how should I proceed?

Don't miss the opportunity. At the same time, the job you have may be at a lower level, even though you have the qualifications to move upwards in the future by writing some exams.

Dear Dinesh,
You are well-educated with good degrees. You should stick to the current company for some time, until you pursue some more courses. This is the time to study, considering your age.
Your qualification does not suit a government job, and moreover, you can't perform as an "HR professional" in government jobs. Rules are made, and you are to ensure that people who deviate do not get caught. If you look at HR as a career, you should not join any government job. It will stagnate your thoughts and creativeness. But if you want a job for the sake of a salary, you should take a government job. Moreover, the jealousy which will linger around you will kill your motivation level (by virtue of your degree).
So don't worry, just carry on with what you are doing now. Pursue courses. You are worth more than a clerical government job. All the best.

Dear Pillai,
My sincere advice is that you opt for the government job immediately, as you rightly said all the qualifications obtained by you are Indian and that too not from big business schools. As you are very young, try to do some law courses (distance education mode - National Law School of Indian Universities at Bangalore) simultaneously and try for big posts in the private sector where compensation will be better. As suggested elsewhere, also prepare for UPSC and try to move upwards in the Government sector itself.

Dear Dinesh,
You have taken a very wise step to opt for the private sector (referencing your post from yesterday). To tell you the truth, I made the same decision, albeit after 2 years of joining the Government service way back in the eighties, and I have never regretted it. I also lost my father, who was in a Government job, and I got a clerical job on compassionate grounds. Since the times back then were very different, and we were hardly aware of alternate non-technical careers in the private sector, and due to family pressures (all were in Government jobs, including my mother), I took the Government job. However, within 1 year, I was clear that it was not my cup of tea. I then pursued a postgraduate degree in HR and secured my first private sector job as an HR trainee in an Indian MNC. It was a very tough decision to leave the Government job, but I did not pay heed to anyone and resigned. Somewhere along the line, I completed my MBA in HR. Now, having spent over two and a half decades in the private sector in various Indian and MNCs, I have reached the level of Group HR Head of a large conglomerate.
So congratulations, my friend, and as they say, "well begun is half done"... all the best.

Dear Sir,
I have gone through every reply to you and your final decision, but still, I want to say that you should go for a government job. According to my knowledge, the government also arranges time-to-time post-upgradation examinations. By qualifying in those examinations with the help of your degree, you can attain a good post there. Moreover, for your HR side, you can do part-time training programs, etc. So, in this way, you can do both things. I am suggesting this only due to the fixed income in a government job. With your efforts, you can increase your post there also. The same applies to private jobs too.

Dear Seniors and Friends,
I have been in the field of HR for the last 2 and 1/2 years and obtained an MBA from a Government University. After working for this duration, I am still surviving on a mediocre salary (20,000 p.m). Even worse, I am still searching for meaningful responsibilities and measurable contributions to corporate goals. No offense, but this is why we are observing a high attrition rate in the HR field for beginners and freshers.
In my opinion, PSU jobs are better as they offer a defined job role with some level of job security in your career. Additionally, in terms of future prospects, there will be numerous opportunities awaiting you as internal promotions and exams are common practices in most PSUs. If I were in your position, I would consider taking the PSU offer for its long-term benefits.

Dear Dinesh,
I agree with Harpreet Walia, a Human Resource Professional, and advise you to consider joining a government job. I would advise you to appear for internal exams for promotions. You are a qualified person, and you will succeed. You can also be elevated to Grade 1 after passing the internal exams.
A government job is better, as currently, it offers better cash in hand, job security, and medical benefits for you and your family. With time, you can also get quick promotions by passing internal exams.
In private firms, you often have to request for increments and promotions. Only reputed firms provide good pay scales and care for their employees. In the government sector, your medical expenses are covered, there are sufficient holidays and leaves, you receive LTC, and other benefits that may not be reflected in your pay package.
After clearing internal exams, you can reach Grade 1 and enjoy more benefits.

I do not know about your family's financial background, but I suggest you take up a government job. It's not a bad or low-profile choice, and you can pursue a better career while working. Many people who secure government jobs do not stick to the same role; they often prepare for competitive exams, especially in public sector HR jobs.

Many people who secure government jobs do not stick to the same role; they often prepare for competitive exams, especially in public sector HR jobs. You can apply for an extended leave to prove yourself.
All the best.

Dear Seniors,
I never expected this kind of response. I received many emails from you, and I am wholeheartedly thanking you for your interest, your time, and your kindness. Maybe you are just giving letters, but they are priceless. I haven't received as many suggestions from my relatives. You are truly helpful.
Thanks to CITE HR and once again, my special gratitude to all of you, seniors. Keep moving forward.

Hey Mate,
Well, I agree with some saying that you should take this job of 15 K which you are getting and then spend a good tenure with them. It's nice to see that you want to complete at least 2 years with your current organization, but looking at the current situation, I would suggest taking the offer. Please do not get into a Govt. job. It might give you stability but won't give you the chance to use your skills and the educational qualifications that you have mentioned. You could be an asset to any organization if you apply your skills.
Cheers Mate :)

Hi, can you help me? Please provide a sample letter for the dental congress where one of our doctors is appointed as the chairman. The letter should request her to give suggestions and choose members for the organizing committee until the proposal is finalized. I need it as soon as possible. Thank you.

Dear,
I have the same experience as you. I was working as an Assistant Grade-11 in a governmental department in Islamabad. I resigned from it as there were little chances of promotion (133 persons ahead of me in the seniority list). I did my MBA in Marketing alongside the job. Now I am in an NGO.
To me, government service is dull and lacks creativity, has little freedom, though it is safe. But I like the thrill of working in a private job. You can pick up the best available job and place and can go abroad at liberty.
You better decide, keeping in view your domestic situation and your mental state of affairs.
Best of luck

Dear Dinesh,
I share my opinion in this regard that first, you should grab the job opportunity from the government with high priority. Afterwards, you will write the exam like ''on Job promotion examination''. So you will be placed in a better grade within one or two years.
Compared to government jobs, the private sector job is unsecured, but a government job always secures your life and your family.
For example, now you can be able to get a government job because your father was in a government job. Suppose your father was working in the private sector, let you think!
Please don't lose your opportunity!

Dear Dinesh,
Government Job: Your job is secured up to the age of 58 years, whether you perform or not. You need not work hard to get any promotion or increment. You will get your promotion and increments automatically whenever you become eligible. Your salary will not be enough for you after marriage, and there will be daily conflicts between your wife and you. Even if you wish, you cannot afford costly articles or gifts for your relatives, friends, wife, or kids. You will have plenty of time to visit your friends and relatives if you are straightforward and have a policy not to accept any gifts or bribes. (I have worked in the Central Government for 19 years and 3 months.)
Private Company Job: You have to struggle hard and be sincere in your job to secure it. You have to work hard to get promotions and increments; they will not come automatically based on seniority. If you prove your efficiency, you will surely receive a high pay package, and deserving candidates may have their salary fixed at the maximum level. You need not struggle in day-to-day survival due to financial constraints. If you are loyal to your company and straightforward in completing tasks, you will be recognized, and you won't have to worry about expenses with a high pay package. You will have less time to meet your friends and relatives. (I have been working in a Private Company for the last 6 years and 6 months.)
I have outlined the pros and cons of Government and Private jobs. Please evaluate them and make your own decision. Wishing you all the success, dear.

Dear Mr. Dinesh,
I also have 6 years of experience in the HR field, but I still prefer a government job over a private sector HR job because of job security. In a government job, you can develop an interest in the work, and with your extraordinary qualifications, you will definitely advance to higher positions. Even in terms of salary, a government job offers better pay compared to the current salary offered by X hotel.
All the best, and think wisely. My suggestion is to choose the government job.

Not fully agreeing with you, I mean, at least I have been working in an autonomous society, i.e., a government organization for the past 5 years, and I am really working hard every day with lots of work. Only a few government departments have very minimal workloads, and not all government jobs provide opportunities to take bribes, which is widely misunderstood - that every government job offers bribe opportunities.

Dear Dinesh,
As per my advice, you must join a clerk job. It's better for you because the private sector is not easy now. I think you have seen that, so please take a decision in favor of your family. Otherwise, everything depends on you and what you should do. But positively think about your career and family. The government sector has lots of openings you can try alongside your job; it's easy for you.
Wishing you all the best in your career.
Thank you,

I am working in a 5-star hotel as a Senior HR Assistant, earning a salary of Rs. 7000 per month. I am 26 years old (D.O.B 11-07-1986).
My father was working as an A.P. Govt. School Teacher. Unfortunately, he passed away on 27-09-2011, due to ill health while he was in service.
Andhra Pradesh Govt. is offering me a government job as a Clerk (10+2 Qualification) (Group IV) in some government office. The salary would be Rs. 12000 to Rs. 17000.
I got an offer at X hotel as an HR Executive with a salary of Rs. 15,000. The reason I rejected it is that I have been working at my current job since Feb-2010, and I would like to complete at least 2 years of service.
My qualification is MBA (HRM), and I have 3 years of experience in the HR field. In March 2011, my company is going to increase my salary, but it won't reach Rs. 10,000. Maybe I will also get a promotion.
I have completed M.A. in History, M.Phil in Management, and I am currently pursuing MSc in Psychology through distance mode.
My wish is to thrive in the HR field; I love this profession. I am quite good at Statutory and Staff Welfare.
I do not wish to work in the government sector because if I choose a government job, I may have to be in a remote area, and due to job security, I may become idle.
If I ignore this job, there is no one else in my family to take this offer (my mother is aged), and I am the only option.
Dear seniors, please do suggest which one I should prefer: a government job (clerk) or a private job (HR).

Dear Dinesh,
First, ask your mother. Listen to your family because whatever step you are going to take will ultimately affect your family. Each and every person in this world is working and doing jobs only to secure their family's future.
If you are thinking that you can sustain in this HR field where competition is always there, and you are 200% confident in yourself, then go ahead. If you have a little bit of doubt in your mind, then opt for a government job.
