Is There Any Chance To Get Entry Into HR Field After Having Different Background

Oh My Uma,



You are in eng graduate...and also an MBA in HR.....WHAT ELSE DO YOU WANT. THOUSAND OF PEOPLE ARE PURSUING TO WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.



Yyou have all the certificate which this world wants to employee anyone with HR. I guess whats lacking you is the "feeling that you are already a PRO in HR".



Suggest you type the following in large fonts and paste the same everywhere in the home.



"I am an engineering graduate. "I am MBA with HR. "I am a PRO Human resources. "I am already an HR personnnel and "I will get a JOb as DIRECTOR OF HR today". You need nothing but convenience yourself that you already are a HR personnel.



What are you waiting for...just go and apply at all the jobs you see with in job portal and placement agencies. Infact, furst check if you can get an internal promotion in Bank itself where you are working. Don't give up it your exhaut in the Bank. If not your Bank, try others. Bank is the first Industry you should target, since you know the nitty-gritty.



You will have many opening in Banks as HR operation, HR Relations, welfare officer etc etc. Check all the banks website and the jobs they had in past and they have now in Human resources, which will give you an idea on which profile suits you best.



I am really surprised, an Eng Graduate in Banking in ops....my Salute to you...with all respect. I am sure you have sacrified few things for reasons.



All the very best and God bless.

Hello Neha,
You shall show them that you have been working as a free lancer in a short frame, because if you say that you have been working as a free lancer for a longer time. The expectation on you will be big.
The normal salary would be more than 240000/annual. Again if they ask you about your expectations, just mention "Company Standards". That would give a good term. You still have a chance to negotiate after they come out with figures. It shouldn't be as if they decline you because of your salary expectations.
Any time you shall ping me for any help, which I believe I shall deliver. Then in the mean while. Make lots of notes on the structures and all relevant things about HR. The need to make a note is of that you will get that into your mind faster and deeper :)
Any thing in regards you may give me a personal message, because I may fail to see this thread which was given to me by you ;)
Take care. All the very Best....

Dear Neha,

For the last 2 months I went through a lots of interviews, and the problem I faced in the beginning is that, I read a lots of books on recruitment ,the entire cycle, but frankly reading is not enough or in the simple words first you decide in which domain you want to recruit people like IT,Non It or BPO.
In interview people only interested to know how well you are in a particular domain, you can choose any but as you said you are going to settle in Poona you can try your hand in BPO it is easy to recruit people in BPO the only thing to have to judge is their communication skills after words you can try it or non it.
In most of the recruitment firm salary is not up to what you are expecting or drawing earlier because they work on incentive based.
And its depends on how many position you are closing in a month, don't worry it is not difficult.
After working in a recruitment firm for a couple of month you can join a company as a recruitment manager.
Simply understand if you have to recruit a knits merchandiser what all you well see in his resume,the first thing is you should know what is knits, So knowledge in a perticular field is important.:icon1:

Hi Kiran,
You are absolutely rite. IF a person is working as a recruiter he/she should know about the fundamentals of the company nature of business. Same person should have knowledge of particular industry as well as the process. So the people who was in the industry for few years into any job responsibility they will be having good knowledge of the same industry. So they can get into Recruitment easily then they can switch over to some other higher position as HR Generalist, Recruitment Manager etc...
IF any person has good knowledge of the industry and knowledge of the normal issues in the industry with MBA will sure get good opportunity but thing is we should wait for rite time.

Hi Neha,
Welcome to HRM! I think that should be a start for a positive talk.
HR field has capability to cover people from any field.
With such a good experience, you can definitely get entry at medium (Executive) or lower (Jr. Executive) level HR grade.
It will be helpful for your profile if you can compare difference between various HR policies followed in India and abroad. That will help you to take some initiatives when you will face interview; also you can implement those things here.
Along with education, you can do job of Recruiter. It might for consultancy or something. There are so many people who are working as Free Lance Recruiters.
There are many more avenues if you try to find out.
Don't worry.
All the best.

hi neha,
if you are thorough in the subject and confident, there should be no problem in getting a job. takes time though.
keep looking at the job portals. simultaneously you can post in this site with your latest CV and also look for openings coming up. assuming you settle down in dec/january, you can give yourself a 3 month limit and should be able to get through.
if you see across the site, people looking for HR personnel and at the other end, HR guys saying that they require job.
all the best to you both
