Transitioning from Content Writing to HR: What Steps Should I Take to Qualify?

Hello All, I completed my MBA with a specialization in HR in 2010. I searched a lot for an HR job but could not find any other than consultancy jobs. I have been working in content writing for the past year and now I wish to transition into the HR domain. What steps should I take to prepare myself to qualify for an HR job? Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Genelia

You should join at least a consultancy firm as an HR executive and, side by side, try to learn all HR functions from other HR people. That is better if you want to learn about HR profiles. You can ask me.

Hi all, Even I feel the same way. I graduated with an MBA specializing in HR in 2010. I searched extensively for a job in the HR field, wandering all over Hyderabad, but ended up with only low salaries. I was not satisfied with the salaries offered by companies/consultancies, especially when my father retired from his job, making my financial situation difficult. I became frustrated and started looking for jobs in various fields, including BPOs. Eventually, I transitioned to the quality side in a software company for a better package. I have been working here for over 8 months now, but I have lost interest in continuing. I have decided to return to the HR field.

Current Opportunities in HR and SAP HR Module

I recently joined SAP in the HR module and plan to quit my current job soon. I would like to know the current opportunities available in the HR field and SAP HR module.

Hi Geneia, please try to find or apply for a fresher's job. There are numerous employers who are looking for new and fresh people. Don't lose hope. You also need to register yourself on job portals for this. I understand that you are a fresher and you want to get a job soon, which is really important for you so as not to waste much time.

I have seen many fresher openings on Naukri.com last week. You need to visit and contact the employers with your candidature. Keep trying and searching for a job, but I also want you to improve your basic skills and knowledge about HR through learning on this platform or other HR sites. Certainly, this will help you a lot in your search.

Also, you can send me your CV, and I will let you know if I come across any good openings for you.

Regards

Even I opted for a career in HR. I passed out with my M.B.A in 2010 and did a lot of research on the market and HR careers. I have a dream to join a big MNC, and I would like to start my career in an MNC company as an HR professional. Eventually, I had to make a lot of compromises and started my career as an HR executive with a small firm. Don't focus on the salary initially, as it may not be great. If you gain enough experience, you can then demand better pay. You can also consider joining a consultancy to gain market insights and learn about the current openings.

Thank you.
