I have to interview an HR Professional for my intro to HR class, and I am drawing a blank on some questions that I should ask this person. Some of the questions I have already are:
Why did you pick HR?
If you could do it again, would you still pick HR?
Type and length of schooling?
Most of the questions are very general like that. Can somebody please help me out and provide more questions for my interview assignment.
Thanks in advance.

I understand that you require this for your class / project
Try some of this
what difficulties / challenges do you face in
1. Recruitment
2. Training
3. Administration
4. Salary / compensation Management
5. Information Management
Further...
1. What is the attrition rate? What he/she is doing about it?
2. Does he/she think that certain type of training would help his organisation but the budget is limited?
3. What HR initiatives they are taking in their organisation?
4. How recent FBT has affected thier salary structure?
Asking them about their work would be more appropriate than asking somebody about his personal life decision unless you want to use is for some magazine survey... coffee table reading..

Hi,
I am presently working as an HR in a BPO. I am looking out for a change since I don't have much exposure to any other areas apart from recruitment. I would like to know the FAQs during my interview with any other Company especially in Compensation & Benefits, Performance Appraisal, Recruitment, Training & Development, Exit, etc, etc.
I need this very urgently, as I am expecting a call from a Company for personal interview.
Regards
Padma
