Oh My Uma,
You are an engineering graduate and also have an MBA in HR. WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT? THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE PURSUING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.
You have all the certificates that this world wants to employ anyone in HR. I guess what's lacking for you is the "feeling that you are already a PRO in HR."
I suggest you type the following in large fonts and paste the same everywhere in your home:
"I am an engineering graduate. I am an MBA with HR. I am a PRO in Human Resources. I am already an HR personnel, and I will get a job as DIRECTOR OF HR today." You need nothing but to convince yourself that you already are an HR personnel.
What are you waiting for? Just go and apply to all the jobs you see within job portals and placement agencies. In fact, first, check if you can get an internal promotion in the bank where you are working. Don't give up; exhaust all options in the bank. If not your current bank, try others. The banking industry should be your first target since you know the nitty-gritty.
There will be many openings in banks such as HR operations, HR relations, welfare officer, etc. Check all the bank websites for the jobs they had in the past and the ones they have now in Human Resources; this will give you an idea of which profile suits you best.
I am really surprised, an Engineering Graduate in Banking in operations – my salute to you with all respect. I am sure you have sacrificed a few things for reasons.
All the very best, and God bless.
Regards, Ukmitra

Hello Neha,
You should show them that you have been working as a freelancer for a short period. If you mention that you have been freelancing for a longer time, the expectations on you will be high. The standard salary would be more than $240,000 annually. If they inquire about your salary expectations, simply state "Company Standards" to keep it neutral. You still have room to negotiate once they present their figures. It's important not to give the impression that you were rejected due to your salary demands.
Feel free to reach out to me anytime for assistance, as I am confident I can help. In the meantime, take detailed notes on HR structures and relevant topics. Making notes will help you grasp the information quicker and better.
If you have any further questions, please send me a personal message, as I might miss notifications from this thread. Take care and best of luck.

Hello Mahesh,
Thank you for your help. I am really grateful to you. Yes, I may need more help a little later as I am still studying my 1st-semester subjects and have yet to give exams for them since my course just started in August. I really appreciate your efforts to respond to most of the threads in the best possible way. :-)

Dear Neha,
For the last 2 months, I went through a lot of interviews, and the problem I faced in the beginning is that I read a lot of books on recruitment, the entire cycle. Frankly, reading is not enough. In simple words, first, you decide in which domain you want to recruit people – like IT, Non-IT, or BPO.
In interviews, people are only interested to know how well you are in a particular domain. You can choose any, but as you said you are going to settle in Pune, you can try your hand in BPO. It is easy to recruit people in BPO; the only thing you have to judge is their communication skills. Afterward, you can try IT or Non-IT.
In most recruitment firms, the salary is not up to what you are expecting or were earning earlier because they work on incentive-based structures. It depends on how many positions you are closing in a month. Don't worry; it is not difficult.
After working in a recruitment firm for a couple of months, you can join a company as a recruitment manager. Simply understand that if you have to recruit a knits merchandiser, what all you will see in his resume – the first thing is you should know what knits are. So, knowledge in a particular field is important. 🌟

Hi Kiran,
You are absolutely right. If a person is working as a recruiter, he/she should know about the fundamentals of the company's nature of business. The same person should have knowledge of a particular industry as well as the processes involved. Individuals who have been in the industry for a few years in any job responsibility will have a good understanding of the industry. This knowledge can facilitate an easier transition into recruitment and later a move to higher positions such as HR Generalist, Recruitment Manager, and so on.
If a person has a good understanding of the industry, knowledge of common industry issues, and an MBA, they will surely have good opportunities. However, the key is to wait for the right time.

Hi Neha, Welcome to HRM! I think that should be a start for a positive talk. The HR field has the capability to cover people from any field. With such good experience, you can definitely enter at a medium (Executive) or lower (Jr. Executive) level HR grade. It will be helpful for your profile if you can compare the differences between various HR policies followed in India and abroad. That will help you take some initiatives when you face an interview; also, you can implement those things here. Along with education, you can work as a Recruiter. It might be for a consultancy or something. There are many people who work as Freelance Recruiters. There are many more avenues if you try to find out. Don't worry. All the best.

Hi Neha,
If you are thorough in the subject and confident, there should be no problem in getting a job. It takes time, though. Keep looking at the job portals. Simultaneously, you can post on this site with your latest CV and also look for openings coming up. Assuming you settle down in December/January, you can give yourself a 3-month limit and should be able to get through.
If you look across the site, you'll see people looking for HR personnel and, at the other end, HR professionals saying that they require a job. All the best to both of you.
