Hi all,

I have completed my MBA in Finance and Marketing. I have 8 months of experience as an HR recruiter. Am I eligible for the HR Executive (Core) position? I have only recruiting experience. Can you suggest a way forward?

Please do the needful.

Thank you,

I don't want to get into whether you are eligible or not, but I can say the following things:

1. It's always better to pursue your career in the field you are specialized in.
2. Even if any company offers you a job in the HR department, what's next? Many reputed companies specifically look for candidates with an MBA in HR or an MSW degree, putting you in a difficult position.
3. If you are determined to pursue a career in HR, consider joining a company that allows you to work in HR despite your specialization. Then, enroll in a part-time HR diploma or a one-year postgraduate HR course. In the meantime, do not quit your current job. Once you complete the course, start looking for a new opportunity.

I hope you understand what I am trying to convey.

It's really not necessary that you do any course or acquire a diploma in HR. If you have relevant experience in Recruitment, then build on it. Continue to work for some more time in recruitment until you learn the ropes and eventually master the job.

If you are working in a manpower resourcing consultancy, then look out for relevant job opportunities in IT/ITES industry. Eventually as a recruiter when you learn the policies and become an SME, you can move through an internal role movement.

It's simple, if you show dedication and commitment in your work in the organization that you are working for, the organization will reward you back. Try to excel in every job that you perform - that's the trick! :)

Hi Pavani,

There are many HR institutes that provide training in core HR and Labor Laws. You can search for such HR institutes in your area. This course typically lasts for about 45 to 60 days. Remember to opt for practical HR training only and avoid theoretical ones. Practical HR training will be very beneficial to you.

Thank you.

Hi Pavani,

Contradictory to the belief that HR could be handled by anyone, it is actually not so. The HR department or HR person would need knowledge as well as experience on various profiles in order to climb the ladder.

Coming to your issue.

Your course provided you with a dual specialization in Finance and Marketing. This is a wonderful combination, but why did you choose to start with a recruiter's profile? Can you provide a reason for this?

Firstly, could you shed some light on what you mean by HR Executive (Core)?

I am asking this not to test your knowledge but to understand what specific profile you are aiming for. Do not get swayed by job titles, as the actual work may differ significantly from what you anticipate. So, kindly let us know the type of profile you are looking to pursue. According to you, what responsibilities would an HR Executive (Core) have?

We can provide a solution only when we understand the problem.

For others as well -

I understand that the market is down, but today I realized the reason behind the job scarcity.

There are, in fact, jobs available; we often choose the wrong paths to pursue. If job opportunities seem scarce, how is it that a Finance person is working in HR and vice versa? (This observation was made after reading a similar post; the link is - https://www.citehr.com/446204-am-i-e...-post-top.html)

If we can be patient and strong enough to start our careers on the right note, with a solid foundation, we can progress effortlessly.

They say, "Think before you leap," and it's time we start doing just that.

Hi Panavi,

If you have any experience in HR from an organization, then you can be eligible, or you will have to obtain HR specialization from an institution of repute. You should have knowledge in these areas: sourcing of people, manpower planning, and implementation of compensation packages. Formulation of HR policies, performance management systems comprising appraisal, career planning, etc. Employee reward mechanisms like increments, performance awards, promotion. Coordinating various need-based training programs including stress management. Then you will be a successful HR manager.
