Help To Find A Job - Understanding Career Graph And Drafting Resume Or CV

Dear Sir/Madam,
I have completed Masters in Personnel Management and Industrial Relations from Jankidevi Bajaj Institute of Management Studies (Mumbai). I am looking for an opportunity in the feild of HR. I have sent my CV's to many good recruitment consultancy firms and have received reply that there are no vaccancies for freshers. If I think of starting my career with a recruitment consultancy then I will not be exposed to other HR functions and I am really confused of how much this experience will count in future. I request you all to guide me and let me know how should I go about my job search.
Regards
Vanita Kadam

Recruitment and HR , even though they are clubbed together , are really divergent career paths. If you eventually want to be in HR, stay away from getting deep into recruitment. Recruiting is just the beginning of the HR process.

Recruiters need to have sufficient knowledge of the HR within a company to set the right expectations with the candidate during the hiring process....nothing more.

HR takes off from where recruitment ends, invloving compensation and benefits, legal and corporate policy enforcement, performance monitoring and management, training and advancement etc.The new term I believe is HCM or Human capital management.

On the other hand, in a booming economy, recruiting is a tough and demanding job . But it can be incredibly exciting and fulfilling as well.

You will need a different combination of skills as opposed to a HR professional to survive this job. The skills of an outstanding recruiter are truly a "MISSION" Statement

Motivate

Initiate

Source

Sell

Investigate

Objectify

Negotiate

If you are the structured nurturing type, HR is a good choice for you, but if you the outgoing "Indiana Jones"type, seeking adventure and challenges in your career, go the recruiting way.

Dear Sir,
Thank you very much for your reply. I am an outgoing personality but for me to start my career in HR Generalist role is important because I can get exposure to various HR initatives but in recruitment it will be more hard core sales job and also as most of the companies have outsourced their recruitment to the consultants how far will my experienced count in the corporate.
Can you please suggest the means through which I can get a role of HR generalist. I would like to know how should I approach.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanking You
