Dear senior’s…
Hi, Am Kumar working as HR Assistant in dubai from past two years in one of a manufacturing /industrial company. I got this opportunity through reference this is my first mistake I did, I realize that always.
This is my first job , from starting in my carrier always problem still. In my department there are 5 nos including hr manager, he only recruiting me through over the phone when I was in india, after I came here they put me in reception and I oppose to work in reception after they put in HR department , until now I didn’t get any recognize from management. But I learn lot of things which helps to boost my carrier in future. In past 3 to 4 days , my manager didn’t give a proper work to me, slightly my works are transmit to my colleague, actually we both mixed up the work and complete the task successfully. Now I feel the difference from my manager activities.
Really I got confused and depressed. Am always prefer job first .I need a job satisfaction later than only benefits. It seems like that they don’t want me to work because here too much politics are going on. But am sure I didn’t mistake anything in my work. I don’t know what to do now… shall I proceed my resignation letter please advise me in this regard…
Thanks and Regards

I would just like to add one thing to what Mr. V. Raghunathan aptly said: take this situation as a challenge and shrug off all your frustration. Try to become deeply rooted in your work, take on new responsibilities, and become a pillar of your organization. Make everyone believe and feel that you are an essential part of your organization. Be proactive. Meanwhile, utilize all your resources to search for a new job in the same domain. You are in a fantastic field of HR.
This way, you can make it. However, you need to fight and always remember that your family back in India relies on your income. All the best and God bless.

Hello Kumar,
As you have mentioned that it was your big mistake, I really disagree with this statement as you also mentioned that you have learned a lot there. On the other hand, so no need to get depressed; such situations normally come in life or in a career. Here, I agree with Mr. Ashish Thakar and Mr. V. Raghunathan - take it as a challenge and fight against it. This is not the end, dear. You have to grow more, or if you are really not feeling comfortable there, then it is not your last job either.
Maybe you are understanding your manager in a wrong way, or maybe you are right, but it doesn't matter. You have to look forward, just obey your manager, try to make your position strong, and if not, there are opportunities waiting for you, dude.
Best of luck!

Dear Kumar,
I completely agree with the advice provided by other members. One thing I'd like to add is that learning anything is useless unless you demonstrate it. Therefore, whatever you have learned from your organization, make sure to showcase it to your boss and other seniors.

Hello Kumar,
Like V. Raghunathan and other members mentioned, begin to focus on new aspects of HR and your communication skills.
Generally, anyone learns and works -- irrespective of the area/field -- for one or both of these two reasons: (1) to gain recognition from peers and those around him/her and/or (2) for self-satisfaction. In the long run, it's the latter that fetches an individual more than the former.
There are always better ways to do any job -- even if you did it earlier. Just try to give your best to whatever is given/assigned to you. Check if you have done it in the best possible way you could and also don't stop at it. Keep thinking if there could be other and better ways to do, even after the work assigned is done and handed over. That's a part of anyone's learning process.
Looking back, maybe the reception job assigned to you could have helped you to improve your communication skills, even as a part of the job itself, without having to make extra efforts for this? Just give this thought.
All the best.

Hi Kumar,
I agree with all the seniors who wrote above, especially with Mr. Tajsateesh. They have placed you in reception all because of a communication problem. Reception is the best place where you can interact with many people such as employees, visitors, handle phone calls, and also learn about people's nature and body language. So, I suggest you learn and improve your communication skills as well as your interacting skills.
There is nothing bad about working at reception, especially for beginners. Additionally, I would like to add that reception is the best place to improve communication. To learn, all you need to do is be a good listener. Try to learn and improve your communication as well as writing skills. Take day-to-day things positively that happen in the office premises and leave them behind as soon as you log off.
ALL THE BEST AND BE HAPPY.

Hello Kumar,
I think I need to correct one perception regarding my remark "MAYBE the Reception job assigned to you COULD have helped you to improve your communication skills."
I DIDN'T mean to say that your HR Manager put you in Reception KNOWINGLY to improve your communication skills -- IF that were so, you would have been told about the purpose for that step. In all probability, it COULD have been because you were new. Sometimes, it also happens for negative reasons.
Quite often, it JUST HAPPENS -- except that we fail to realize the long-term benefits of such a situation that comes without asking.
I recollect my own First Job -- I was put in an Area/Section where NONE wanted to go. All those who joined along with me got very good postings -- where they were in the thick of the Commissioning Activity of a 200MW Power Plant -- and I was in an off-site area. I worked there wondering at this situation -- though frankly it was due to 'lack of any option', rather than 'by choice'. After 6 months, an opportunity came to our Department to send one guy for Specialized Training & everyone realized that I was the ONLY one who could be spared -- the others were totally tied up in the peak activities. No Prizes for guessing what happened next -- except that my career took an EXCELLENT turn from then on.
In a single line, 'Let not your mental frame of mind decide your present responsibilities/efforts.'
All the Best.

Dear Kumar,
I completely agree with all the professionals who have guided you to take the right steps. I must say that whatever you learn in your career helps you to perform better in the future. Never undermine any role; even a receptionist does his/her job with dedication/passion and can have complete satisfaction. As others suggested, your communication skills would have improved if you had managed the reception. Communication skills are one of the core competencies in HR to be successful. It is natural to get frustrated as you want to do better and grow faster; there is nothing wrong with that, but wait for the right opportunity. While you explore the right opportunity, you can enhance your skills and better HR knowledge. We all have gone through these kinds of experiences, and I am sure even you will overcome the same.
All the best and God bless you.

Dear Kumar,
In continuation of all that some of our dear professional colleagues have shared with you, which I appreciate, I would like to reiterate a few ancient and well-known truths to keep you encouraged.
1. Even gold has to undergo the severity of the fire to be tempered to become a jewel - Anon.
2. Every diamond worth its name has to be cut before it's polished to get the shine - Anon.
3. We are used to eating food in steel plates in our country, aren't we? From the mud deep below, sluggish sand is separated to get iron ore from which we get the raw material that gets converted to sheets and other forms, one of which is the plate on which we eat our food. The process of this conversion is excruciating and laborious too - Anon.
4. It's a nut that believed in itself and hung on to the ground despite the severity and odds, and to this day, it stands tall as an oak - Anon.
5. Look at the bamboo tree - which is very deceptive indeed. It looks slim, stands tall, but even the worst storms have very little effect on the "bamboo trees." Their slimness allows them to bend, but as they remain strongly rooted to the soil - Anon.
6. Look at the pencil, it looks better, writes better when it's sharpened, but imagine yourself in the place of the pencil. I sincerely hope no one is subjecting you to life to sharpen you like the pencil - Anon.
Now to the main thing.
You are too young to give up on life. Take all that's happening to you in life as a wonderful lesson. Take Gandhi, for instance, went to South Africa, got thrown out of the train, and from there his will to fight imperialism brought us to where we, as proud Indians, stand. I wonder what lessons you are getting in life now that may alter the lives of some in the future. Take the time and use every opportunity to strengthen your skills and develop the right competencies.
