Though most of my work experience is in marketing and finance, I am more interested in HR. I only have some published articles on the subject - http://mypyp.wordpress.com/.
I have read books on how career transition is very tough even in a country like the United States. Ironically, that is the fundamental purpose of HR - to ensure the right person in the right job and avoid square pegs in round holes.

Hi,
Since you have read a lot on career transition, can you suggest some useful tips for me? I am a software engineer with 1 year of experience in both software development and HR. I have been working on campus recruitment and have organized events in many campuses for hiring freshers. I am looking to transition into a career in HR and want to make a shift in that direction.
What is the best way to move to the HR department in my current company? Since I am in the technology domain as a developer, my current company may not allow me to make the transition easily. The main concern would be a potential decrease in my compensation.
What is the right approach to make this transition? Please suggest.

I am well-read, but that sort of thing is easy to do in the US, not here. I even have published articles on the subject, but still, it will be difficult to get someone to hire me.
In your case, if you are very sure, then try doing a diploma on the side and try to pick up as many practical points from this forum (formats, presentations, etc.). Or if you can associate with an independent HR company (know somebody there), try that. In your case, you don't have experience of HR-related work as well. There is a "career change" resume in the US but not here. We unfortunately don't have a talent-centric culture. If only there were short-term coaching schools by HR professionals. The only transition is practically feasible.
If you are serious, do it before you get married. After that, it can be very difficult.

Hi,
I have completed an MBA specializing in marketing and have worked for approximately 3 years. After my stint in marketing profiles, I have realized that marketing and sales are not my cup of tea in the long term, considering traveling and sales. I would like to add here that I had an interest in HR as well since my graduation days, but since dual specialization was not available, I opted for marketing. Now I am pretty clear that I want to take up HR as a career. Could you please guide me on the best way to enter the HR field? How can I best approach companies, considering this is a big career transition? Do you think specialization in HR is absolutely essential for a career in HR?
Thank you.

Hi guys,
I'm a professional with 8 years of experience, 6 years in Marketing, and the last 2 years in SAP as a faculty. Now I want to get back to the industry, but in a line related to Marketing and into analysis. Can you suggest what are the options for me? What's SAS all about? Can marketing professionals utilize it? What are the other options?
