Hello experts,
I am an MBA-HR. My course will end in April 2012. My placements will start in November-December 2011. I just completed my summer training in recruitment with a good reputed company, but I am not very interested in recruitment functions. What other HR functional work can a company offer to a fresher like me? Please help me!

Hello,
If you are a fresher, you will have to work as a Trainee HR, where you will get to handle HR tasks and thereby you will know what interests you more, be it recruitment, training, payroll, time office, etc. However, that fully depends on the company and what work it allots to you.
My advice, don't hesitate to do any of the HR tasks; learn as much as possible. If you look at it positively, the recruitment function will create confidence in you on how to talk and deal with people. Your vocabulary and understanding will be enhanced. So, be ready to do whatever HR function is being allotted to you.
All the best!

Hello Vaishalee!
Thanks for your reply. I truly agree with you and don't mind doing all functions as a trainee. But as you said, it depends on the company as well. All companies don't invest in freshers like us.
I am asking you this question mostly because I have heard from good sources that we have to start from consultancy firms in recruitment itself. Even one of the sessions I attended, the expert said the same thing, that you only have to start your career with recruitment. Not many options you hold in practice.
So, what do you think, is it true? Do you feel that we should not be very specific when looking for a job and initially be as open as possible?

You said it! You already know the right answer; only you have to follow. It's not consultancy always. If you are going to get placed by your institute/college, you can choose manufacturing companies to get all-over exposure. Pay-wise, it may not be as good as other companies like software, etc. However, the experience you will get is vast. Even if you get to work in consultancy, you can always opt for a short course of practical training in HR to update and qualify yourself for generalist functions. Hope it helps.

Hi Vaishalee!!! Greetings!!!!
Can I change my functional area if I start my role as a recruiter or after I gain two years of experience? For instance, if I handle recruitment for two years in a company, and now I wish to shift to a different functional area, what are my chances in a new company or within the same company? Additionally, if I have to choose, how appealing is an HR generalist role? Does an HR generalist role provide exposure to all functions?
Thanks and Regards

Hi Vaishalee!!! Greetings!!!! Can I change my functional area if I start my role as a recruiter or once I gain two years of experience? For example, suppose I have been handling recruitment for two years in a company. Now, I want to transition to a different functional area. What are the chances of me doing so in a new company or within the same company? Also, if I have to choose, how is the HR generalist role? Does the HR generalist role provide exposure to all functions? Thanks and Regards

HR Generalists have exposure to all HR tasks. If you get yourself trained in a Generalist profile, the chances are bright to work in that profile in your own organization. Nevertheless, you can apply to new companies with recruitment experience and HR generalist working knowledge.

Hi Vaishali,
I have gone through your replies. I am currently associated with a recruitment and staffing consultancy. I have a total of 1.8 years of experience in recruitment. Now, I want to change my functional area to HR Generalist.
I am applying to companies for the same but not getting through. Most of the opportunities I am coming across are from the Recruitment Consultancies, and I am not looking forward to any consultancy again.
Please suggest how to get into the Generalist role.
Looking forward to your reply.
