Hello All,
I will try and cut this short, i have been doing recruitment for the last 2 1/2 years in consultancies in my city and i know there is no other field tat i can take up cause this is the only one i am comfortable in or infact most familiar with, but i am fed up with recruitment and want to move into an HR generalist role and even though i know i have no experience in a generalist sort of a role i am sooo willing to learn but since i have done quit well in recruitment no one seems to have moved me from that profile. I have just shifted and am going to start giving interviews but don't know how to go about telling them tat i want a generalist role and i am sure i will pick up fast, just one opportunity and a little guidance is all i need. And also if you guys can give me some guidance on how to go about the interview, i would really appreciate it.
Thank You
Namrata.

hi nami
these days , i am sad to say that HR has become synonymous with reeuitment and head hunting...if u say u r iunto HR,it means u r recruiting...and the reason is that recruitment is also the
money making business..
anyways ...if u have made up ur mind for a generalist role... i think.. instead of approaching a big co.. go to a small one. convince them that u will be ABLE to do all asapects of HR...accept the job even they pay less... stay for 1 or 2 yrs in that job and learn the various aspects...the advantage of workiung for a small co is that u will be given freedom to experiment...and even if u make mistakes u'll be forgiven....be proactive and try implementing new hr systems and put ur hands in all aspects
the other option is getting into the hr dept of a giant co...or PSU by writing tests....and stARTING OFF AS A TRAINEE
whatevr be it...b4 attending interview...make sure u prepare the theory part and the various aspects of hr.

Hi Namrata,
Do either of the following :
1. A Post-Graduate Diploma in HR/Personnel Management/IR - one-year course will do to give you a fair clarity about HR processes/subject. MBA is better if you have the time/inclination
2. Study carefully the resumes in HR that you get while recruiting - they will indicate to you the various tasks/accomplishments of HR people for a general understanding to start with.
3. Read the numerous books on HR that you get in stationery shops to gather knowledge
3. Apply for HR jobs; prepare resume carefully and sell your abilities rather than experience/exposure.
You will surely land up with your dream job with some efforts.
Cheers!
