Why did you pursue an MBA in Human Resources?
Why did you choose Human Resources (HR) as a profession?
Why did you choose to pursue an MBA in Human Resources after obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in IT (Information Technology)?

Good question they have asked you, and they have given you a full chance to open your heart.
Why did you pursue an MBA in Human Resources?
A - I feel HR is a good field to work in because I can work with people for people.
Why did you choose Human Resources (HR) as a profession?
B - It is my wish.
Why did you choose to pursue an MBA in Human Resources after obtaining a Bachelor's Degree in IT (Information Technology)?
C - Since I am an IT graduate, I can implement this more effectively in the HR field.
What is the difference between Hard Work and Smart Work?
D - Hard work = step by step upward, time-tested. Smart work = direct upward but no guarantee in the long term. But if we can mix both ways as per requirement, it will be good. All are my opinions.

Hello Rahul Chugh,
Frankly, initially I thought this was a prank posting, but after noticing your series of reminder postings, I felt you were serious. Coming to your queries—First and foremost, forget about the interview and the questions. Please answer from your perspective all the queries related to your MBA degree. I am sure you would have had some idea or reasons as to why you did what you did, right? What are they? Let's take it from there for a discussion.

Dear Rahul,
I have some contributions for these questions that may help you:
1) HR is an interesting field to explore further. We encounter human resources everywhere, and we must learn how to manage them effectively.
2) Dealing with human resources is a challenging job, and I enjoy taking up challenges. It is not a routine task, and we can learn a lot from this profession, which also benefits our personal lives. Every day in this profession is a learning experience.
3) IT is a developing field currently, and the HR field requires IT support to provide optimal inputs and operate in a professional and efficient manner.
4) A smart worker can also be a hard worker, but not all hard workers can be smart workers. A smart worker achieves planned goals, whereas a hard worker, despite putting in a lot of effort, may or may not succeed. Therefore, an organization requires smart workers rather than just hard workers.

Thank you, Bharghavi, for your help. I also want detailed information on ESI and PF. Specifically, I would like to know which forms and challans need to be filled out, and most importantly, how to fill them. Could you recommend any tutorials or websites that explain how to fill out the forms and challans? Thank you in advance.

Hi Rahul,
The questions posted by you are very common in interviews and have subjective answers, i.e., they vary from person to person. If such questions are asked by me, my answers would be as follows:
1) I did MBA in HR because I think my skills are best suited for this field. I have good interpersonal skills, the ability to judge and mold the behavior of others, and most of the time I am able to solve people's problems. Moreover, HR is a field important for all types of industries, so its scope is wider than any other.
2) HR as a profession opens doors to every type of industry and provides learning opportunities every day as it deals with people, and every person is different from the other.
3) IT is a growing sector that provides large employment opportunities. BPO, KPO, etc., face problems in recruitment as well as retention. All this increases the importance of HR in these companies and hence increases opportunities. A degree in IT will help me understand job profiles effectively, and an HR degree will help me put the right candidate in the right job.
4) Hard work means doing a job efficiently by working hard, whereas smart work is doing work effectively and efficiently with methods that save cost, time, and effort while still leading to ultimate and better results.
Hope these may help you. If I am wrong, I would appreciate the feedback.
Thanks and regards,

@var_bha(Varsha)
Wow... Thank you for your reply. Could you please elaborate on your answer "HR as a Profession"?
Secondly, let's assume there is this guy who has done MBA in HR and prior to MBA, he did a Bachelor's degree in Computer Applications (BCA). This guy does not have an interest in working in an IT company as an HR. Moreover, he wants to work as an HR in a pharma/cosmetic company or any other FMCG company for that matter. Now, in this case, if the interviewer asks him, "John, why did you pursue MBA in HR after doing BCA?" and a few follow-up questions like:
- Would you not like to apply for an HR Position in an IT Company?
- Why would you want to work as an HR in an FMCG company?
@var_bha(Varsha): How would you tackle this situation? How would you answer the main question and the follow-up questions as well? A quick reply will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Dear Mr. Chug,
It seems you are taking my interview. Anyways, since you have asked, I will definitely try to answer.
HR means every person working in an organization, right from the top level to the lowermost level. All other assets of companies, i.e., physical assets, fixed assets, may vary as per company needs, but no company can work without human resources. Whether it's any company, the role of HR remains the same, i.e., recruitment, training, manpower planning, career development, etc. Thus, a person with an HR degree can work in any industry, whereas if a person is a doctor, he can only work in the hospital industry, for example. This is not the case with HR, so it has a great scope. That's what I mean with the answer I gave for choosing HR as a profession.
Well, if you did BCA, then you must definitely think why you don't want to work in an IT company. But in case assuming the condition you have mentioned, my answer would be:
My ultimate aim was to do an MBA in HR. For that, I was required to do a graduation degree. I had two options, B.Com and BCA. Since B.Com is more financial, that would not have helped me in HR.
BCA is related to the computer field, and nowadays, every organization has gone technical, i.e., there is hardly any field where computerized systems are not used. Even in HR, software such as payroll, SAP, electronic attendance systems are used. So, I chose BCA to keep myself updated with software knowledge, which I can use in my ultimate goal of being in HR.
I am not interested in making my career in the IT industry as I am much more interested in the FMCG sector.
The FMCG sector is one of the sectors that has covered not only the urban market but has also covered rural areas. These are products the demand of which is evergreen, as these are consumerable goods and are frequently purchased. So, these industries are growing and will even grow in the future. Moreover, the number of employees in these industries is more than any other sector, as they have a large distribution chain. More employees mean more HR problems, and the more the problems, the more are the learning opportunities. That's why I want to work in an FMCG company.
Hope you are satisfied, and if you or anybody finds my answer wrong, please correct me.
