Dear All,
I am working as an HR trainee in a manpower consultancy firm that has been in this field for 9 years. However, I feel that the processes they follow are still lagging compared to other firms or companies.
I am concerned about one thing: I want to pursue my MBA in Human Resource Management in a foreign country, which requires 2 years of relevant work experience, a good GMAT score, and a good TOEFL score. I am not worried about the latter, but the former is making me nervous.
Does having experience in a manpower consultancy provide me with an edge over others?
In the future, when I obtain my MBA degree, will it be considered a valuable expertise? Will my MBA along with 2 years of work experience secure me a job offer from a reputable company?
At my current workplace, we primarily handle non-IT jobs, mainly in manufacturing companies. Is this domain considered? If I want to transition to IT-HR, is it feasible, or should I focus on the tools we use to shortlist candidates?
I am eagerly awaiting your help.
Thanks and Regards,

Your experience in recruitment will land you a position as a recruiter in an organization, not necessarily a consultant. However, if you wish to position yourself as a generalist, then you would have to lower salary expectations. So you will not have an edge over others for generalist HR positions. If you want to know if your experience will be considered relevant to do the course, please speak to the institute for a clear idea.
Aside from this, a recruitment specialist who is able to close positions quickly and generate good revenue for the organization would definitely be sought after since in today's world, recruitment forms a core demanding part of HR and one of the main parameters based on which management rates HR performance. If you're good at recruitment, you will get a job for sure.
Hope this helps answer your query.

Thank you, sir. Yes, it is really helpful, and I am planning the things to be done. But I am not clear about some things. Is it good to go with IT Recruiting or NON-IT Recruiting? Does this matter as a trainee for me from where to start? How to differentiate between them and move ahead, which is better for each individual? Does Manpower consultancy experience of 2 years + MBA-HR lead to joining a good organization? Or is it good to do a course in HR which is IAO certified for the time being to get good pay that helps my education? I am eagerly waiting for your reply.
Thanks,

Hi,
Your queries:
IT vs. non-IT recruitment.
This would depend completely on whether you want to work only in the IT industry. If you like working in different industries, then non-IT would be a better focus.
Define a good organization. All organizations have positives and negatives. The idea is to find a place that suits you, and you are able to deliver there.
If you join an organization as a recruiter post your MBA, then your experience should be counted as valid. By the way, what is IAO certified? I am not familiar with this.
All the best.

Thank you, sir. But I am having doubts about the pay package in the coming years compared to IT and non-IT.
Sir, IAO stands for the International Accreditation Organisation. One of the certified courses in Bengaluru is provided by Ripples Learning, located in Kormangla.
Link: [HR Certification - CHRMP](http://www.rippleslearning.com/CHRMP-CertificationInHR.html)
Sir, I request you to please visit the link and let me know if it is good to take the course there or if there are any other good institutes you would recommend. Also, is my job experience enough to showcase my skill sets in the future?
I am eagerly awaiting your reply.
Thanks and regards,
Abhikoppa

Hi Abhikoppa,
No one can ever say what kind of package they will end up earning. The IT industry was paying better than other industries in the past, but I think the situation has changed. Construction & FMCG are also paying well, along with Telecom.
I went through the link you shared. The information shared is not sufficient to draw a conclusion about its suitability. Nowhere do they mention the course content, duration, or cost. I suggest you ask them for the names of organizations that are hiring HR people with the qualifications Ripple is providing.
I suggest you do a formal course either full-time or part-time in HR from a reasonably well-known institute. You will have to do research to choose an institute, but if you do it on the above lines, you should be able to find a good relevant course.
All the best,
