Job Change Guidance needed

Hi All,

I am working as HR personnel, and am currently based in Sikkim. I am seeking a change of job urgently as the culture out here is not very condusive to an energetic work environment, plus the growth oppurtunities are next to nil.

If somebody has a vacancy in any position in HR please let me know.

What are the oppurtunities in Generalist area, and if I take up recruitment initially, what is the scope of changing to the role of a generalist. Also, how advisable will it be to take up a job on contract basis, to move out of this place, and then look for a permanent position.

keenly watining for your responses...

Hi,

For a competent person, job change is not be a big hassle!

Have understood your complaints about the present environment. A little more on your efforts to oversome the problems would have been welcome. But since you seem to have made up your mind on a change, your chances will depend upon the profile of your experience and your potential as would be seen by new interviewers.

If you have had a broad spectrum of experience, a change to a generalist's role is certainly possible, but it is advisable to work with a senior generalist and gain insights into the role before you may like to venture on your own.

There is nothing wrong in accepting a suitable assignment on contract as a stop gap arrangement till you find an acceptable job, but if you do take such an assignment, I wish you would complete the initial contracted period before you actually change again.

When you donnot like the job profile or the work environment at one organization, you wanting to change is natural, but as HR, is it not our responsibility also to make the work environment more conducive for all? If we only ignore this responsibility and change at the first possible provocation what will others do? And what will happen to the organization?

Kindly mull over these points also before you change? We are bound to make at least reasonable efforts to tackle the environment before we wish to leave and I am sure you have done that. Changing a job is relatively easy and will satisfy your personal exigencies and preferences, but tackling the environment is a professional commitment and far satisfying and helps you grow professionally!

I have presented a view point. Consider it for what you think it is worth!

Hi Pujs
I completely agree with Samvedan
Look for a change
But a tleast do something of the present environment so that the newcomers who join will remember you and you will also have the satisfaction off doing something for others(personal views)
As for a job, you should not have any problem in getting one
But make your oriorities clear as to what you want from the job
If it is job profile in the right company, better wait for the right oppurtunitybecause you are not losing anything .
But if you are really fed up of your present environment, then look for a stop gap solution and leave immediately cos atleast you will be better off mentally.
These are my personal views.
regards

Dear Samvedan, Rishi,

first of all thanks for your reply.. but let me ask u a few questions...

1) wht will you do in case you have heard from various sources that your immediate boss wants the organizations to fail?
2) the organization is full of retired people, (well almost), and most young people are planning to leave... for a government job...

Frankly, I dont know if I have given my 100%, there are times I feel I could have done more... but everytime I have taken initiatives to put things in place, there has been discouragement from all ends... I know change requires a lot of time, and resistance will be there, but practically working here I have observed a few things...

If someone senior was in my position s/he wud be better accepted by everyone... experienced people is what they want

if some senior HR was there in the organization.. i wud have lilked to stay back... this could be one of the most challenging jobs.. but to put everything in place would require 3-4 yrs (remember we are talking about changing attitutes) ....

there are other things, which are confidential to the organization, and I cant discuss in a forum... and personal reasons, its way to lonely in Sikkim...
And Rishi .. I have done a few things here. ... for which people will remember me... One i have initiated the process of following Statutory Compliances, and two for the workers in the hospital...i have made a system which ensures that they are paid every month... even though its still not on time...

thanks for your inputs... but I think its time I made a move...

please do let me know if you think I am giving up easy.. I would like to work on it...
