How To Find A Job In The Corporates While Working In A Recruitment Firm

Hello Seniors
I need your suggestion...... I joined a recruitment firm as HR executive - Generalist...... Here my profile is to take care of all internal & external recruitment, handling petty cash, chasing & generating new clients, taking care of admin activities...... Also, I've about 8 months experience in this field but still don't get any exposure in any corporate..... Please guide me what I should learn to enter corporate...... & how to enter in corporate............ Also, guide me am I on right track? Also, I am pursuing MBA (3 year course) through correspondence & because of some personal reason I've to drop in between after 2nd year but also will start again after a while.......

hi.. The correspondence courses don't add a value in your resume..so you should have gone for regular course or a part time course..& i don't think that handling petty cash, chasing & generating new clients, are included in hr generalist profile..
can you please clarify your statement"you said you have joined the recruitment firm & on other part you said you are not getting corporate exposure.." so your these two lines confused me..do you mean presently you are working with a consultancy?? :)

Hello Mam
Yes of course I am in consultancy only......
Also, due to some financial problem I cant go for regular course..... because I am studying by my own only.... So, please suggest me wht to do & where to go & how to go ...... etc....

hey.. don't worry..you'll definitely get a good job.. n u r on right track..Hr field requires experience of atleast a year..are you trying for jobs in MNC's???..i would suggest you to join linked in & join the hr groups in that..there are lots of job posted there..

Thanks Mam
But earlier you were saying what ever the profile currently I am having is not generalist profile.............
Want to ask one more thing that is it necessary to be MBA for getting entry into corporate?

Dear Neha.....
I can understand your problem. Whatever positions you are handling is not a generalist profile (Frankly speaking). See now a days an experience in a Payroll and Statutory compliances matters a lot.
Now the thing is r u getting an enough exposure to all these things??. If yes then dont worry u will have a great future. But if No then u have to take the knowledge of all these things and then u will definately get a exposure in a corporate world. It doesnt matter what is your education but the practical knowledge of the generalist profile matters a lot.
See MBA is just a Stephny for your career growth. But here the first thing is u have to take a good experience in generalist profile and then u can think over further education doesnt matter it is distance learning or regular.....

The generalist profile includes following things:

1. Recruitment
2. Administration
3. Payroll processing
4. Statutory compliances
5. Employee Engagement
6. Performance appraisal
And many more things.......
First of all u just take a good experience in these things then i am sure u will get a good exposure in a corporate world......

Hello Sir
But from a consulting firm how can I get experience in Payroll & Statutory Compliances ? What should I do for this......? I am really an ambitious gal & want to achieve something in Life....
Also, want to share one more thing with you.... I also have interest in IT Profiles.... (Myself also learnt oracle...)

Hello
Seniors................ No reply?
Please do reply......... I need suggestion from you............
Please guide me................

Dear Neha,
As mentioned by Mr. Ramdas, it is true that what you are handling right now is not an HR generalist profile.
Now, why don't you continue your part time MBA, once again. Try and learn various things related to HR if not practically than through first reading about the other functions of HR. Here this forum has vast information related to HR to share, its like an ocean the more deep you go the more variety you get. So dear, start learning and increasing your knowledge.
And complete a year here and start applying for jobs side by side.
I hope this resolves your query.

Thanks Seniors........ Definitely I'll try to gain at least theoretical knowledge either through book or this site......... But as I told you that I've keen interest in IT also.... & I did oracle then how it'll help me in this career?
