Dear All,

Please find the below mentioned "HR Career Saga". Hope it would help all.



For such students/freshers/ executives - what is the way to enter in Generalist profile?

Ans: To get a core HR Generalist profile, you will have to make your searches right. Don't limit yourself to the location. Be willing to move out and explore new cities. Broaden your horizon in making searches. Be open to accept the work in a small organization.



You can't right-away work in Airtel. Also, don't just confine yourself to work in one particular Industry, i.e., try your chance in new companies (for that, make google searches). Choice of Industries is numerous. BPOs, LPOs, Telecom, manufacturing, etc.



How do companies fill HR generalist profiles/ positions?

Ans: The bigger organizations fill the HR vacancies through references or word of mouth. You need to develop your networking skills.



However, sometimes the vacancies may be displayed in papers. Keep eyes open and make it a habit to check Times Ascent or any other Employment newspaper.



Can HR community help these candidates?

Ans: Yes. The HR Communities also serve as a pool of candidates posting their CVs. But they will call you only if your CV speaks for itself.



How should they plan career to be successful in HR?

Ans: Career Planning is not only for the HRs. Its for everybody doing a job. But to make career in HR, one needs much more diligence in eyeing the opportunities coming their way.



To get your career on the right track in HR, you don't begin work after the completion of your studies. If you are doing an M.B.A. or any course in HR, take all the assignments seriously. Your Internship can make a difference. Work so well that you leave an impression on the Employer (who you work for during the Internship) and the teachers (whom you submit the Project).



Don't copy-paste the Project work. Do the things yourself. Select the HR topics that are very rare or in-vogue. Your teachers will guide you if you go wrong. Be up-to-date with the latest in HR through such HR communities or you may also read the HR magazines like Human Capital.



Now coming to the real world after the completion of your studies, post your CV on the job-portals (Naukri/ Monster, etc.), contact the people you know. Keep your Networking strong, check the employment papers. I am sure you will succeed.



One last thing: Don't keep your expectations too high. If you are getting a good HR profile in a small organization or a bigger, you may have to come down in your salary expectations. If the work is good, be willing to compromise initially. The future will show good results.



Regards

Pradeep
