Help.......

Hi..again!

Can you plz tell me about the placements scenario in the industry now. Is the market stable enough... We are graduating next year....Help me out.

Hello!!!!!!

As a fresher i would like to know about the market situation....Are the companies in the position to recruit again...

Which stream both of you are in ?

Hello sir!!!!!

I am in IR stream,our campus placements are startin in few days.

sir!!!!!!!!

I am from HR stream..I am just preparing myself for the placements.....Plzz help us out.
Thanx a lot..

Although companies have started hiring again but it surely isn't the way it used to be before recession & more emphasis is on Sales / BPO hiring. Other streams are still having a difficult time to get placed well.
Now even before hiring a single resource companies want to be convinced enough that this resource is actually needed which means no unecessary headcount.

Given the fact that you both are from HR so more extra efforts are going to be needed in a time like this. HR itself is a department where people are not required dime a dozen & the way market is now, most of the companies are trying to make it lean.

If you people are from well known colleges & even if you are not its better you make a placement committe or if you already have one then start working with them & try to pitch for big/medium/small companies by giving them presentation about your HR course & try to check with them if they are hiring candidates for HR role.

As i said this time around as a personal opinion i think a lot of effort will be required to get placed in HR roles in companies.
Best of Luck to both of you & I hope that both of you will land up in good HR roles.

hello prashant,

thanx for ur suggestions. as a fresher what sort of knowledge base i.e. just the regular HR knowledge or the more contemporary issues and trends in HR, is required to get that edge? also, are there any special courses that employers generally look for in HR candidates? and most importantly are there any scope of renowned cos hiring HR candidates (fresher)? if so which?
kindly help.

Prashant sir,

We have already given the presentations at bnglore,kolkta & Delhi..have plans for mumbai too.I can say that i am from a good insti,you might have heared of it (XISS,Ranchi..) our alumni base is very strong.You plz be in touch sir,your inputs are useful for us.If its fine with you plz forward your mail add....

Thanx.......

Priya,
Indeed you are from a good college but again this time around things are still quite dicey. I am assuming that if you are from XISS then Campus for you guys should be good enough. XISS holds a good reputation among corporates.
Along with Mumbai be at Hyderabad & Chennai too.
Your college has got quite a good alumni population & lot of them are very well placed in highly reputed corporates also.
Get in touch with your alumni specially senior/medium ones & check with them if they can help you guys in the placements. They can be a excellent source for you to get placed or to get leads to placements.

Thanks sir,campus is good but this year its looking a little dim but yeah we have our fingers crossed..I am in touch with few of our alumni in banglor.Thanx for taking out so much time & effort for us.Plzz be in touch..Sir where are you from?if i may ask..
