Hello,
This is what I had adviced in another thread. In case you have not readt it I am quoting!
"My advice is to look for an organization where culturally HR is an established and accepted function.
The sharpen your focus to seek a position to work under an experienced, knowledgeable superior who will take you under his wings as it were and it is in this manner you will have a lot if opportunities to learn the trade in real sense. A few years like this and you will be ready to fly solo in this profession.
To achieve this do not worry too much if you have to take some beating on the remuneration aspect (if you have to but within reason.) I am saying this as I see your keenness in being a good HR. But for heaven's sake do NOT be tempted with opportunities as head of the function even in a small firm. It seems you are not ready to play the top role as yet!"
Now how to look for such an organization is the question!
Remenber, when you are being interviewed, you should also be interviewing the interviewer without seeming to be doing so! During the company find more and more about company culture, its HR practices andits history in interpersonal relationships, extent of free communication possibilities and the like.
While you could get some information from the company's website, it would be more gainful to make innocent, casual enquiries in the profession with seniors, placement agencies and the best would be the professional association. All these you have to handle with extreme care and skill, but it cab be done.
And finally you of course send a PM to professionals you would trust or take up the matter on the message board,if you like!
I suppose this approach will be helpful!
Cheer up, every day is a new day and it brings with itself new opportunities!!
