my friend,
If you are looking for enhancement of skills and knowledge means you don't have these skill sets and competancies anb your education MBA-HR was mere certification, which did not translet any of HR specialization in your armory to deal with todays HR activities in any organization.
My Masters Degree in PM and IR has offered me all necessary compatencies and skills when I joined my first job as personnel officer in manufacturing industry. I was alone and my erstwhile Personnel Manager, and his team of time keepers and PF Clerk left with him and I replace him alone.
They did not even maintained and filed PF,ESIC returns and I have to desburse salary righte from my first month in the job in addition to preparing wage & salary register, PF,ESIC record, Recruitement, Discipline, face Inspections by Factory Inspectors, Inspectors undeer PF,ESIC, Minimum Wages and attending court cases in same month.
But I never upset and I managed all these with the help of recruting my close friend as my assistant to workout PF,ESIC record under my guidance and Prepare attendance records and wage and Salary register in same month attending office on week ends without any extra remuneration.
All these happen due to my Masters Degree in PM- carriculam provided me enough exposure during internship in understanding the functioning of Personnel Department this has help me to overcome difficult time. Rest of the HRM tricks I learn by my experience by updating my skills in training & development, Disciplinary Actions, Negotiations with Trade Unions, Salary and Wages Settlements and Court Injunctions aginst Strike.
I am writing this all my experience just to explain you that merely adding certification will not enough because expereince play major role in enhancement and building competencies to become mature HR professional.
In the later half of my career, I have completed all training in psychometric test, Motivation, Counseling, Competancy profiling etc because that was not part of HR carriculam in y time. But today if education institutes did not offer training on these HR tools then these kind of education is far behind modern time.
Instead of going for real expereince, you are merely adding some certifications will not be helpful to start career and will waste your valuable time spending to earn only certifications and no experence.
First, try your luck for break thorugh for practical experience. Because my experence tought me that when Quality Circles, ISO, TQM, Six Sigma, People -CMM all these are now history and hardly exist. If you learn something and keep learing without useing knowledge will not yeild any revenue or career. Because life of such HR interventions is very short by the time you learn and ready to practise a new tool replaces old one like Balance Score card. BPR, etc etc and there is no end.
