nubira
I need guidance to start a career in HR as an HR Assistant. I have completed my MBA in HR and have over 8 years of work experience in the Administration Department across 2-3 different industries. However, I just need a little help on how to begin this new journey.

Many Thanks

As you have significant experience in Administration, you must be familiar with HR and its functions. At an industrial level, 8+ years of experience often allows an employee to engage in some HR activities. Additionally, you have completed your MBA-HR, which is a valuable skill.

The Role of Administration in HR

Administration in the corporate sector today is becoming a distinct and individual part, yet it remains an essential component of Human Resource Management. In many organizations, it is still integrated with HR and operates under its umbrella. Therefore, I would like to know about your knowledge and experience in Human Resources. What do you know and understand about HR?

Steps to Enter CORE HR

To enter CORE HR, you need to enhance your knowledge and update your resume for HR job applications. Focus on developing value-added skills in HR for your resume. For example, work on wages/salary and compensation calculations, ESIC and EPF (rules & regulations, statutory requirements for employees and employers, returns), gratuity, bonus, and other HR functions.

I also suggest considering SAP HR courses, which are increasingly important in the HR world. This will provide you with more opportunities to establish yourself in HR. However, before this, you need to start studying, work hard, stay updated with developments in the HR world, and most importantly, show your interest in HR.

Spend as much time as you can here, read and understand the discussions, and gain knowledge about HR functions.
