Transitioning from HR Professional to Lecturer: What Steps Should I Take?

Dear friends,

I have completed my MBA in HR and also have a degree in B.Com. I want to become a lecturer in HR subjects, but currently, I am working in the HR department of an IT company. Please guide me, seniors, on what steps I should take to become a lecturer. Is further study or a professional course necessary?

With regards,
Sapna Saini

Hi Sapna,

As you can first try for a visiting faculty position in a college, then you can aim for a permanent teaching role. Coming from a corporate background, you have the potential to secure work as a visiting faculty member. Additionally, if you pursue a PhD in your subject or a B.Ed., you can also directly apply to universities.

If you need more information, feel free to contact me.

Hi,

You may try in Jamia or JNU for your M.Phil or Ph.D. Now the forms of JNU are available.

PhD can be pursued from institutions such as ICFAI, Annamalai, AIMA, IIM, XLRI, and ISB. As for a Bachelor's in Education (BEd), you can opt for a teacher training program or take the BEd exam directly. Many institutes offer these facilities.

Dear,

Please tell me where I can get the form for a Ph.D. or M.Phil. Also, let me know the best and easiest way for me to pursue this while working. I actually want to do a Ph.D., but some of my friends say it's a very typical and lengthy process. Please guide me.

PhD is, of course, lengthy; generally, it takes 4 years to complete, but it comes along with its prestige. Many people do it just to get the additional two alphabets before their name. I mean Dr._____________________.

I think what Arif suggested before is quite appropriate; start by becoming a visiting faculty to any of the professional courses like BMM/BMS/BBA, etc. If you're in Bombay (Mumbai, sorry Thakarey Sahab), you can search for college lists and start applying. For professional courses, what matters is professional work experience in corporates. I am sure that will help you in the long run. If you multitask, work/teach part-time (morning one or two sessions), and probably you can also do your PhD. And yes, the moment you get a good guide, PhD becomes easy for you.

Hope this helps!

Hi Arif,

I'm doing S.Y.B.Com and want to build a career in HR. I want to work as a recruiter in a good placement or consultancy. Can you refer me to any good ones? Let me know which certifications I can pursue before completing my graduation.

I am eagerly awaiting your prompt reply.

Hi All,

I am interested in studying part-time MBA in finance. Would you please guide me to the best coaching center or college in Chennai where I can complete a 2-year MBA? I thought of studying at Loyola College in Chennai, but it has a non-semester-based system with only one exam per year. A friend recommended studying part-time MBA at Anna University. Could you please advise me on the best college in Chennai for a part-time MBA program?

Thank you.

Hi Heena,

I suggest that since you are still in your second year, it is a long time to plan ahead. However, I still recommend pursuing an MBA in HR or a PGDBM in Personnel Management. You could also consider obtaining an HR certification, such as the SAP HR course, which is currently in demand.

The HR Certification Institute offers three certifications: PHR (Professional in Human Resources), SPHR (Senior Professional in Human Resources), and GPHR (Global Professional in Human Resources).

If you are interested in joining a consultancy, that could also be a good idea. You can send your profile to various consultants to work as a freelance or regular recruiter. Alternatively, you could even consider opening your consultancy, and we can help you out with that.

By the way, where are you located?

Kind Regards,

Hi,

What your friend suggests about Anna University is nice. Also, you can opt for an MBA from IME, University of Madras, St. Joseph, or Vinayaka Mission University. One thing I want to tell you is that if you want to do part-time only, you can go for Symbiosis, SMU, PTU, AIMA, and many other institutes and universities that have study centers in Chennai. Find out.
