Hi vinod,

Respect your friends interest in exploring a career in Hr, but I would like to know if this is based purely on an assumption that he beleives he will be better in HR for he has a technical background......it is not uncommon for a technical person to switch into the administrative job but that takes a couple of years dealing with and understanding people and business processes.

Today if he would like to take a complete switch he needs to take up a fulltime PG degree in HR from a reputed college which would also give him the platform for placements in the Hr field. his 2 months experience would not matter then since he would be a fresher in the field of HR

A distance education course is helpful for an experienced HR professional who would like to apply for higher positions / different Hr verticals etc....rather than give an entry for a fresher into the Hr field.

Another option for your friend could be to continue in the present organisation as a Technical person and explore opportunities which would required him to be involved in more man management activities and gradually move into the administrative roles like team manager / project manager etc...but that would take a couple of years....although a BE Grad with an HR degree is preffered in many IT companies especially in the field of recruitments, because they understand technical terminologies.

Preeti
