Hello everyone, this is Rima from Kolkata. I am an engineering graduate, and I have 1.6 years of experience in the IT domain as a Technical consultant. Now, I'm seeking a career in HR and currently undergoing training on practical HR concepts. I have recently been offered a position as a student/education counsellor with a leading training institute in Kolkata. I really need some guidance and expert advice regarding this job profile, career prospects, and the salary guide for this profession.
Eagerly awaiting a reply.

Hi Friend,
Based on my knowledge, a Student/Education Counselor's job does not fall under HR, although the objective of the job is related to HR through counseling. When we discuss the Counselor job, it is considered a role in sales and marketing, especially when it is in a training institute. This position is target-oriented, so it is important to determine that first. If you are interested in pursuing a career in HR, consider starting with recruitment as there are numerous opportunities available for a recruiter position.
Good luck!
