Taken commerce group, later just to have a degree instead of common degrees like B.Com or BA, chosen the specialized course on HR from University of Madras. Because of the course done, just selected the HR career. Gained experience in HR and finally started loving the HR career.

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
i am in very good in speaking and lots of my friend always told me that whenever i give suggestion to anyone that is very useful to them and when they all are talk to me their biggest tension will remove soon and they relaxed. That time i was pursuing for MBA but now i feel that was true because when employee come to me they really feel good to talk to me.So this thing encouraged me to choose this profession.
I like this profession very much and i my dream is to go very high in this field with my hard work and dedication.

Dear,

I wanted to be a cricket player. I played cricket up to District and University level and than i changed my mind.

My Father had inspired me to go in this field. Pls note that, we are four Brother and all are working as H R professional in different well known organization. My father is recently retired from a Govt. job and he was working as a Head of Establishment dept. (Old name of H R Dept.)

Though I am more or less a beginner in Hr with around 1 and a half year of experience, but the story so far goes like this:
I was working in a training institution (newly opened), as a conselor. It was a part of a small Pvt company. The institution was not doing gr8, and I hardly had any work, so I was asked to assist the HR dept once in recruiting. The management was quite impressedwith me as I was able to close few positions. Then finally the institution closed down, simultaneously the Hr ex resigned, and I was transferred to the dept as HR Exec. So I fell into it. And then on....I enjoy every moment of my profession, esp as a generalist now.
And yes, in childhood I wanted to be a computer engineer. And then in my first HR job, I began recruiting them :)
So I firmly beleive, in life whatever happens, happens for good.

I am a Student of XLRI just recently joined the Post graduation on HR... My interests was in Training and Development and I wanted to be a International Trainer and Freelance consultant... and i found the two could be improved if i do this Personnel management and Industrial Relations course here... I did my engineering in Computer science from Govt.College of Tech. , Coimbatore. and in and worked with TCS and tried my hands on Training whenever oppurtunities where given in the two years... Basically Training and Development is what i am looking and thats my interest drived here..
