Dear all,
What a good knowledge sharing on whether experience is more important or qualifications.
I would like to share my own experience.
When it comes to hiring HR professional, experiences come first.
Here's a choice, a person having an MBA with no experience in HR, versus me with only an advanced diploma but 3 years working experience in a multinational company's HR dept. I've helped to set up company policy and strong in compensation and benefits. Who would you choose?
Right now I am no longer attached to the MNC, I am in a small local property development company. Again, I set up the HR manual for this company. And I am handling the HR dept alone.
However, education and qualification are equally important. I am planning to take up a degree in HR to brush up my knowledge. As people always say, there is no end for learning.
Good luck all HR professionals out there.
Ashley
