My name is Pratiksha. I have completed my diploma in Electronics and Communication, and I am currently working as a junior engineer in an automotive company. However, I am not interested in continuing in this field. I aspire to transition into a career in Human Resources within the next two years. Can you advise me on how to pursue a career in HR after completing a 3-year diploma in E&C?

Dear Pratiksha,
You have a very nice name, but I think you don't know its meaning, and you are just the opposite of it. You have done a 3-year diploma in E & C, and until now, you have not become an expert in your field. How can you expect to become an HR in just 2 years without any relevant studies or experience?
I am unable to understand why you want to change your profile, and what guarantee is there that you will remain stable in the HR field after 2-3 years? Please don't make a joke of your career and think twice before switching your profile.
Just have patience and wait for the best results in your own field rather than getting bored at an early stage.

Hi Pratiksha,
It's always good to lead with your interest and passion rather than the so-called profession. If you really think that is not your cup of tea, failing in E&C does not mean you will not succeed in HR. You will. First, you need to decide where you want to go - Recruitment, Generalist, Payroll & Benefits, Training & Development.

Hi Pratiksha!
Have you ever heard about a business school in Bangalore? Their program in MBA is entirely different. They are recruiting people into management jobs with specializations like HR, Finance, Marketing, etc. Immediately after MBA admission, they will place you in companies like HP, IBM, Accenture, Hero Honda, Dell, etc. We work for 5 days and study for 2 days on the weekend. So, after 2 years, you will have an MBA degree with 2 years of hands-on experience in HR management.
Best wishes for your great career,
Bala.

Hello Pratiksha,
I somewhat agree with Ms. Bhawna that you shouldn't make any hasty decisions to change your profession. Firstly, Preksha, decide what you really want. What is your actual interest? If it's HR, then pursue your passion. It's not a bad thing to follow your passion. There are many examples of people who have done this, but only those who are truly passionate and committed have succeeded. If you are feeling confused, then pause, think twice before making a move. There comes a time in every professional's life when they may feel bored in their current job, but it's not always the best option to switch careers, right?
Take, for example, my current situation. I work as an HR in an IT company, but when I see the work of web developers or designers, it seems intriguing. However, I know I may not be able to excel in that field without the necessary knowledge and skills. If, after two years, I decide to pursue a career in that area, I must have a deep passion, determination, and the courage to start as a FRESHER in that field.
I hope you understand my point.
That's why it's crucial to choose a career wisely.
Best of luck! Make a wise decision since your future depends on it.
