I have conducted training on recruitment skills, resume preparation, cracking interviews etc for engineering and MBA students. I have interviewed lateral candidates in engineering, HR domains as well. I recall an interview I conducted last year, for one of my clients for HR Executive role. Both the candidates had MBA qualifications with 5 years experience. I asked a couple of questions to both of them. I just spent 10 minutes on my questioning and sent them off. I asked my first question, after your MBA, what additional knowledge you acquired in HR sub-skills ? competency mapping, performance systems, training and development ? Zero. I asked another question... did you read any kind of book during spare time, on any topic ? response was nil. Interview over. Even recently, one lady with 7 years experience in HR wanted a job and approached me, after a break in service. I asked her meaning of HR BP, HR Data analytics.... She could not answer me. Why I am narrating all these things here is, the moment people get a job, they stop learning. Am learning, at 67, ten years after my retirement. Recently, I had conducted classes for a class of MBA students.. I asked the students after training, what you would like to pursue your career, after exiting from this institution. 32 out of 35 students mentioned Recruitment. In Bangalore, you will find IT recruitment firms mushrooming, like mobile accessories shops. Recruitment, onboarding, attendance, and payroll are comfort zones. You do not require an MBA from a prestigious institution... any graduate or even a 10+2 guy can manage..l it is like horoscope matching.. JD versus resume. If matches, pass on to senior for arranging the interview. Where is knowledge development, learning new skills, augmenting new knowledge ?
