Hi Arti,
Gosh! posted ur own post while trying to reply....apologies for the faux pax..
From what I have observed on this forum is that those who are quite clear on their queries generally tend to elicit a better response.
Coming back to your query ...the reason cited for doing an MBA is a little vague. Generally, an MBA is a value add or a career booster...The entire program is structured to lend direction to ones career aspirations...
Let's assume may have wanted to break the monotony of a typical call centre job and hence do a professional course to help you get a better opportunity...But what I am trying to understand is why you chose to specialize in HR....was it out of interest or was there any other motivation ??...Also was it a full time MBA or parttime ? Besides was there any placement service offered by the Institute?...
Lets assume for a moment it is part-time or a correspondence course then it will be a little dicey to convince prospective interviewers about the career break...
Once you have answers to the above...the next step would be to do an honest self appraisal that should encompass the various roles you have understaken so far in your professional career...highlight the various achievements in the different roles you've undertaken....the decisions that guided your job changes....
Believe me you will gain enough insight about your own inherent strenghts ...besides this kind of an analysis will help you identify the skills compatible to your area of interest....
I am not quite sure on your previous job profiles....it would certainly help if you could provide an outline on what your responsibilities were and what kind of a functional exposure you've had in the past 5 years...
HR is a vast subject and there are so many areas that you can end up in depending on your experience and qualifications...Recruitments...Compensation Management/Payroll...Compliances...Training and Development...Employee Engagement...Performance Management...Career Counselling....Consulting...Strategic HR....Cross cultural management...
To start with generally freshers get into recruitments and then gradually move into other areas of HR depending on interest and ability...
Or you can gain exposure to various payroll tools and gain an entry as a Payroll Executive and then move up the value chain...
Always keep a longterm goal ....dont look for immediate results...
Warm Regards
