Greetings to all,
I am an Assistant Manager in HR in the manufacturing sector of a PSU organization for 6 years, holding an MBA in HR and B.Tech qualifications. Recently, I have been feeling that my career is stagnating, with limited opportunities for learning, development, growth, and promotion. Consequently, I have been considering a career change.
However, I have encountered challenges in this pursuit as many recruiters seem hesitant to hire me due to my experience in the government PSU sector. I am seeking advice on why this might be the case and how I can overcome this barrier. Some recruiters have even suggested that I should remain in the government sector and not venture into the corporate sector.
I am looking for encouraging advice on how I can diversify my career profile. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Friend,
The corporate sector may not hire people from PSU due to the following factors:
1. The biggest hurdle is the PSU culture where employees are not focused on results and targets.
2. The work culture is not competitive.
3. Lack of stretched targets.
4. Time-bound promotion and equal increment for performers/non-performers.
It is advised that you keep trying in the corporate sector and always remain positive. Wishing you good luck.
Thanks & Regards,

It's a wrong perception that employees from the Public Sector are not result-oriented or not focused on goals, etc. It is agreed that employees in PSUs have a different work culture where they have more officialism than the Corporate Sector, but they are not in any way less competitive.
Further, it is true employees in PSUs have time-bound promotions, and there is no concept of out-of-turn promotion as compared to the Corporate Sector where star performers are rewarded. However, the mindset needs to be changed in view of the present scenario where employees can quickly adjust according to the given work environment and start performing as per the expectations they are engaged.
Those who are averse to adopting changes prefer to stay permanently at one place.

Look for medium-sized companies, don't look for MNCs when switching over. Settle with any company that accepts your skills and competencies. In many resumes (may be in yours too), people always write about their responsibilities in the present and previous roles. Nobody cares about your responsibilities but what you really achieved or contributed. Write only a few chief accomplishments that you could bring about based on your JD or job role. Also, mention a few lines about your soft skills, such as leadership, communication, and team building, with real-life examples or tangible evidence. Do not negotiate too much on salary. CTC in PSU with all fringe benefits could be more. If you want to come out of PSU, please compromise slightly on the CTC side because you need a foothold first. After two or three years, you can prove yourself and start looking for bigger, better, and higher roles in any leading companies.
