You both meet the maximum requirement for an HR job, which means an MBA in HR is a requirement along with the background. However, the essential factor is practical experience. Now, proceed with gaining experience and learning more from your seniors.

I agree with the response about practical experience. I have also completed my Master's in HR and am now seeking experience in the same field. In my opinion, if you are still interested in pursuing further education, you could consider either going ahead with a PhD or opting for an Executive course from IIM.

Dear Swati,

It depends on what kind of profile you are in. Apart from this, your course should be according to your future goal and the industry you plan to enter for your growth plan. I can provide you with details of some courses you can consider, but for that, I require certain details from your end, such as your job description and your company name. Are you using any software? Are you working on payroll? In what kind of industry do you plan to enter in the future?

Dear All,

I am a Post Graduate in HR from Madurai Kamaraj University and have been working with the Telecom industry for the last month. I am considering further education in HR or Psychology. Please guide me in selecting a suitable course.

Hi, after completing your course, you have made the correct decision because, nowadays, focusing on a single subject may not help with further career development. It's better to specialize in psychology, particularly industrial psychology. 

Thank you.

Hi to both,

It depends on your knowledge and experience. What is taught is mostly theory, and you now have to put it into practice, but other people in the organization may be more knowledgeable about several aspects in HR. I think you could take other courses but focus on gaining experience. Psychology is good for HR, especially organizational psychology, as you need to understand people in order to recommend certain programs and training courses. Psychometrics is also valuable, so you could check that out. I also hold an MBA in HR. At present, it is challenging to obtain a manager's job in this area due to the vast years of experience required. I might settle for an officer position initially and then work my way up to a manager.

I hope this helps in your HR career journey. Good luck!

Dear Annu,

An authorized SAP certification will cost you between 1 to 1.5 lakh. You may have to look for authorized centers only. On the other hand, if you go just for training and local certification, it should be within 30 to 35 K only. There are lots of computer institutes providing the training, like NIIT and others. Based on your best judgment, you may opt for any of these.

Warm wishes,

Dear members!

After completing an MBA in HR, choosing to pursue Psychology or psychotherapy can be an excellent value addition for an HR professional. It provides insights into the personality, perception, thought process, behavior, and attitude of colleagues, helping to understand reasons for issues like frequent absences and other attributes individuals exhibit. These HR professionals can then further their expertise by undertaking training and development programs, becoming valuable resources within their organizations. For those interested in Psychotherapy, IPMS Mumbai offers a 2-year course in MS/MSc (Counselling & Psychotherapy) in collaboration with the Global Open University Nagaland. Additionally, individuals can also consider courses in Transaction Analysis (TA) or programs offered by ISABS, all of which are unique and highly sought after. Should you have any inquiries regarding TA or related topics, please feel free to reach out to me. I hold a PG Diploma in Career Counseling, an MS in Counselling & Psychotherapy, an M Phil in Counselling & Guidance, an MBA in PM&HRD, and I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in psychotherapy.

Hello all,

I am an MBA (HR) graduate. I recently enrolled in an MSc in Psychology from the University of Madras. Will this degree be an added advantage for me to climb up the career ladder in HR functions? I am currently attending interviews for HR recruiter positions, but my interest lies in taking on the role of an HR generalist. Should I start my career as a recruiter for that purpose? Please help.
