Hey, that's a comprehensive list. However, people like me prefer reading e-books rather than buying them. Do you have any links so that I can read all the stuff online? If yes, then please do post it. I would be ever grateful to you for that.

Dear Poonam,

I think you should check out the book called "The Six Sigma Way" by McGraw Hill publication house. It will really aid you.

Hey Rahul,

Certainly, a comprehensive help. Good list for people like me who are from another domain and trying to make their career in this field. Also, keep posting stuff that will help to learn the nuances of HR.

I am an electronics engineer who wants to be in general management or in the HR field. I have taken the first step by enrolling myself on this site and I am looking forward to the help of everyone.

Thanks & Regards,

Dear Rahul,

I have been searching for such a list for the past two months. I have searched for it extensively on the web, but unfortunately, it was not useful. Thank you very much for your help. If you have an ebook or know where I can find it, please share the information with me.
