Dear Rima,

As the size of the company increases, it tends to divide the responsibilities among the HR team for HR processes. Hence, the employees specialize in IR, General HR ops, Recruitment, or HRD.

You need to decide in which subgroup you would like to gain experience. Since you are a fresher, it would be highly useful for you to gain newer modern management techniques at an early stage in your career. This would help you work for software companies. On the other hand, if you decide to work for a manufacturing company, you can specialize in Industrial Relations and general HR operations. IR would be inevitable as there are more IR issues in a manufacturing concern.

My personal view is that you should opt to work with a consultancy where you would gain exposure to new HR interventions.

Regards,

  • Hi Rima,

    I think that you should consider the manufacturing job offer where your profile is in general HR. It will provide you with a lot of learning opportunities in the beginning, and you will be exposed to many new things. Once you enter the consultancy field, it becomes very difficult to transition back to the manufacturing industry for employment.

    The best decision can be made by you once you clarify what you want in life and where you want to be.

    Hi,

    You said you are a fresher. I will tell you the truth - the fact is, it does not really matter. Take anything you like. It will not make much of a difference in a few years.

    Best of luck. Keep in touch.
