Dear All,

I have over 8 years of sales experience in different organizations. Now, I would like to transition from a sales profession to an HR profession. I recently finished my BBA with a specialization in Management. My thesis topic focused on how annual performance appraisals affect employee job satisfaction.

I am seeking your support on how to tailor my CV to position myself as a potential candidate for HR positions.

Thank you.

I have completed an MBA in HR with distinction. My goal is to establish myself in the field of HR. I began my career as an HR Recruiter. After gaining a few months of experience, I had the opportunity to work as an Executive Assistant to the CEO. That led me to shift my career from HR to EA. Recently, I have joined another company as a PA. Now, I am considering transitioning my career back to HR. It has always been my long-term wish.

Please provide me with your suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

Dear members,

As an HR professional, I would suggest both of you to strive to be good HR professionals. Firstly, one member wishes to transition from sales to HR. While it is beneficial to work in HR, considering your extensive 8 years of experience in sales and in-depth sales knowledge, I would advise against it. Transitioning to HR without a solid foundation and expecting to maintain your current salary may be challenging. However, if you are clear about your career vision and are not constrained by monetary concerns, I recommend exploring HR opportunities in a manufacturing organization where you can learn quickly.

The second member is contemplating another shift to the HR field. Opting for a career in HR rather than remaining a secretary is a commendable choice. To excel as an HR professional, reinforce your existing HR knowledge as a strong foundation. Tailor your CV accordingly and await suitable opportunities aligned with your expertise.

Thank you.

Dear Jasmin,

Thank you for the advice and suggestions, but to be honest, I am a little bit fed up with sales activities, especially here in Kabul, Afghanistan. Due to the events of 2014, most businesses are on standby or have even stopped. Now, I need some help to secure the right position in HR within any organization.

I have also discussed the issue with my internal HR to explore other positions within my current company. They have advised me to finish my thesis and obtain a bachelor's degree before they can assist me further.

Thanks
