HERE ARE SOME USEFUL THOUGHTS.
CAREER CHANGE
Based on your brief,
The gap of 2 years should not be a big worry.
You can always explain and play it down.
Definitely some interviewers would ask about it, more out of
curiosity than anything else. You must be prepared to answer
it and not avoid it.
Based on your technical qualifications and experience,
your competences could be outlined as
TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE
-computer literacy
-familiarity with software
-knowledge of harware/ software
-knowledge of systems in general
-quantitative reasoning
-attention to details
SOLUTION ORIENTATION
-problem solving
-adaptability
-flexibility
-making judgement
-making decision
-critical / analtyical thinking
COMMUNICATION SKILLS
-oral communication
-written communication
PERSONAL ABILITIES
-endurance
-initiative
-self reliance
-continuous learning
-training/ coaching
-achievment motivation
It is possible some of these competences more matured than others.
Your commercial experience in total is just over 2 years covering
-HRIS
-recruitment
-administration
etc.
YOU STILL HAVE TO COMPLETE PGCHRM.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With this background, you want to move into RESEARCH HRM.
You can cover a number of areas , as listed below/ more.
But this is subject to your aptitude, your passion, available
opportunities, etc.
Also you should remember that nobody in their right mind
want to do just research--they want also to implement
the research findings.
HENCE YOU MUST ALSO DEVELOP THE SKILLS
-TO PLAN THE SOLUTION TO THE FINDINGS
-TO IMPLEMENT THE PLANNING.
SO THE REAL SCOPE LIES IN RESEARCHING/
IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING.
Vision & HR Strategy Development
HR STRATEGIC planning
HR planning
Manpower planning
HR AUDITING
Change Management
Executive and Leadership Development
Organization Culture Assessment & Development
Innovation and Creativity Practices
HRIS
Communication, Influence, and Conflict Resolution Skills
Employee Development & Coaching
Performance Management
Career Planning /Management
Process Management/Improvement
Development of Self-Directed/Shared Leadership Teams
Meeting Effectiveness & Group Facilitation
Goal Setting
Team Building/ Development
Organization restructuring
Group Problem Solving
ETC ETC ETC
In career planning, you have to place your position/ role,
not just as researcher of HR, but what HR can do to the
organization, solution provider in collaborative
development of
-organization direction
-organization culture
-organization development
-continuous improvement
etc
and help the organization to meet the changing needs
of the BUSINESS.[ example could COST EFFECTIVENESS]
The kind of career , you are seeking , are limited in numbers.
Put some more experience on the current job/ complete the
course and try to do/learn more in your current job [ beyond
the call of duty] It will pay off in the future.
Then you should seek position with organizations like
*CENTRE OF OD DEVELOPMENT [ Hyderabad]
*TIFR [ mumbai]
*PRICEWATERHOUSE
*ANY MAJOR CONSULTING HOUSE
*LARGE ORGANIZATION LIKE [ HLL, ITC etc]
A FEW YEARS WITH THEM, THEN YOU CAN START
YOUR OWN CONSULTANCY / WRITE YOUR OWN CHEQUE.
HOPE THIS IS USEFUL TO YOU
