Hi, I have 5 years of experience in HR profile as an HR Generalist. Due to some personal problems, I took a career break. But now, I want to restart my professional career. I am getting calls from good companies, but because of the 4-year career gap, companies are not considering my profile. Could anyone suggest what I should do next to restart my professional career?

Hi,

You need to explain the genuine reason for the break in your career and should also give a positive hope that now you are very much ready to take up the new assignment with full vigour. Also, you should be willing to negotiate on the compensation part as most companies tend to fix your last drawn CTC and even less than that considering your break. You should accept it to kick start your career again.

Highlight the significant tasks handled by you in the last employment and demonstrate how you can use your skill set towards the growth of the organization.

Wish you all the best !!!!!

Hi,

I have 5 years of experience in HR profile as an HR Generalist. Due to some personal commitments, I took a break for 2 years. However, during this Covid period, I got sick, so it took a lot of time to recover. I am feeling better now and looking to restart my career in the HR field. The problem I am facing is not getting selected due to the career gap. Additionally, I feel the need to update my skills and knowledge in my field so that I can perform well.

I have been searching for courses and training centers here in Bangalore, but they are asking for a significant amount of money for certification, and some seem to be fake. I am requesting anyone reading this who may have an idea about a good institute in Bangalore that can provide training and certification in HR to help me update my skills. Please let me know.
