Hello Dear Members,
I am very new here and would like some valuable advice regarding my career. I am presently doing my PGDM (distance) from a reputed institute and would like to know if I should join an HR Training Course in Delhi, NCR, which offers 1-month hands-on training. Most of them seem a little shoddy... (sorry, but it's true). Are there any reputable ones? Most of them promise job placements, but I'm not so sure.
I have no experience in HR per se, but I have vast industry knowledge in aviation, KPO, and advertising. Yes, I am a late bloomer when it comes to career choices :) but I know HR is my calling. So, any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, all, and a Very Happy New Year 2013!

What does your hands-on training involve and how much does it cost? If you give those details we may give you a considered response.

Hi Simhan,
The hands-on training would set me back by $300.00 for a 1-month workshop, at the end of which I would receive a certificate and some training on payrolls, etc. Would you advise it, or should I keep trying my luck at getting an entry-level position with any recruitment consultant?
Thank you for your time and insight; it's greatly appreciated.

Thank you, srinivaskvmk, for your encouraging words!
I'm in the middle of my exams, therefore the late response. Well, like I mentioned before and at the cost of sounding redundant, I really want to etch a career for myself in the field of HR. I have been Googling a lot lately and have gained some insight into the vast field.
In the future, I plan on obtaining a certification from SHRM or, if possible, from CIPD. However, the biggest stumbling block for me is that all these certifications require a minimum of at least 2 years of experience in the industry. At the advice of some, I have started looking for jobs as a Recruiter. Here too, I face the same dilemma.
The following is my plan of action for the coming months:
1. Join one of these so-called HR Training Courses (e.g., Asiawebmedia) which provide practical training (1 month) and a certificate (attended workshop).
2. Join an HR consultancy firm (e.g., InHusys) during my last semester so I can complete my Project work and hopefully get placed.
Any guidance would be of great value.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post.

Dear Seniors,
I need guidance from you all. I am going to restart my career in HR after a gap of 5 years due to marriage and small kids. I have received an offer from a Recruitment consulting firm. They are requesting to retain my original educational certificates for a period of 6 months to ensure I do not leave prematurely. While the salary is attractive and provides me with an opportunity to resume my career, I am unsure whether I should accept the offer. I am concerned about the possibility of coming across a better opportunity or wanting to leave after 6-7 months, and then not being able to retrieve my certificates. Please guide me on what I should do.
Thank you.

My sincere advice is do not part with your originals. It’s bad practice and unethical to demand that.

Dear Nidhi_Verma_MBAHR,
The reason for them asking for your original credentials has been mentioned by you. If you do not want to part with your certificates, you can offer them a solution that might convince them to make the offer while also serving your purpose.
Merely rejecting the offer on these grounds will further confirm your intentions to leave the organization in a short duration and show a lack of commitment, which may not be appropriate for you at this point in time.

Hi Hiral,
They would also be deducting Rs. 2000 per month from the salary for a time period of 1 year, which would be paid to me in total after I complete 1 year, else would be kept with them. What else could I offer? Please suggest.
I don't have any intention to leave without prior notice and have never done so. But the concern is that they should not harass you for the documents when you want to leave.

Hi Nidhi,
It isn't only leaving without prior notice but also ensuring that you don't leave BEFORE 6 months. Ideally, you should compare the benefits you'll receive if you accept the offer. If the salary is quite handsome, the company has a good brand, you do not have any other offer as of now, the company is not manipulating you for a 5-year gap, you'll be able to manage your work-life (as you have a kid now/see if they allow work from home at times in an emergency) and across the company if they are following this policy. You can verify with their existing employees and not hesitate to surrender. It is a matter of 6 months only and hence it shouldn't be a problem. This does not mean that I am in favor of this policy; you are the one to judge for yourself. Just check with them whether they'll be giving the same in writing to you and what are the terms while returning the certificates. This should serve your purpose before taking the decision.
Feel free to update and let us know your decision too.
