Hi, let me start from the beginning. I worked as a content writer in a small company for about 1 month and realized that this is not what I want for my career. I then decided to give "HR" a shot. I started attending interviews and eventually landed a position in a consultancy. I worked there for 4 months but due to reasons like targets and the work environment, I recently left the job. I have determined that I want to pursue a career in HR, but I currently feel that I lack the right opportunities. Therefore, I would appreciate your advice on this matter.
I have a Bachelor's with Honors in English from DU. I am currently pursuing a Master's in English from IGNOU. I am planning to pursue an MBA in HR (Major) and Operations (Minor) through distance learning. Additionally, I intend to undergo HR-related training this summer.
P.S. - Your advice and suggestions would be highly appreciated.

I would suggest that you first study and understand what HR function is all about. At this stage, you are and will be a 'Learner' in HR function. So as you have planned, take admission for an MBA in HR and simultaneously apply for junior-level jobs in HR at ground level. Working for recruitment agencies will come along with business targets. Instead, apply for fresher jobs wherein your previous 4-month recruitment experience can help you to bag a job. But first, plan your career and then take the next step. Your parameters for career planning can be as mentioned below:
1. Do you find the functional area for a career interesting?
2. Do you feel you will learn and demonstrate the skills required to be successful in it?
3. Do you feel it is a long-term career for you where you can climb to the next levels of growth?
4. Are there any crossroads of multitasking available for the future to be with the changing business scenario?
Please ask these questions yourself and study the functional area as to what it constitutes.
All the Best

Start by building a strong foundation in human resources. Take classes and read books to gain a better understanding of the HR field. Additionally, get involved with professional associations like SHRM and participate in webinars and other online events. Networking is key - attend local job fairs, conferences, and workshops to make connections in the industry. Finally, stay up to date on the latest trends in HR and use that knowledge to create innovative solutions for your organization.
