Hi, will you please let me know why you want to pursue HRM? Is it just an interest, or what actually makes you feel that you should choose HRM? Please share more about your present work experience and responsibilities.
You can pursue HRM to build your career in HR; you certainly require education in this regard. To achieve this, you must be focused and determined. You mentioned that you are a B.E. graduate with a few months of experience but now want to move in that direction; maybe because a few things are making you feel like you can be more successful in a career with HRM instead of your basic line. Please share more in response to the questions above. That will enable us to give you an appropriate answer to your queries.

Thank you, sir, for your response. Yes, I do agree with you, sir, and I'm sorry I didn't mention that I have experience in the HR field at a junior level and don't have any technical experience. I started my career with the first opportunity that was in HR due to some genuine reasons, and now I want to build a career in the same field with interest and dedication.

Career Advancement in HR
Well, as it is your first job and shows your interest in HR and currently working too, you may go further by earning education and experience. You can certainly go for PGDHRM and also must go for SAP-HR, which will be value-added skills and help you establish yourself in HR. But you also need to be focused and determined. You have basic education, which is different from your future career plan, so it can be a bit difficult. However, if you go for it sincerely, you can reach your goal and achieve success.
Current Work Profile Inquiry
Now, tell me about your present work profile and what you are doing in this regard. You have not answered my questions above, so please provide more information.

Thank you, sir, for your response. I am not working in HR anymore. Two months ago, a few of my colleagues and I were asked to leave our jobs due to workforce reduction in our company and a preference for employees with more than two years of experience. I have attended many interviews, but I keep encountering the same issue—employers prefer candidates with an HR degree or diploma, despite my good communication skills and confidence level. I don't like to boast, but I have received such compliments.
Experience in HR Activities
I have experience in handling internal recruitment, conducting induction training, and participating in retention activities. This involved conducting meetings with new employees, addressing their queries, implementing their suggestions, and helping them develop new skills. I also motivated them to work with a positive attitude. In addition, I conducted telephonic interviews based on job descriptions to assess candidates' communication skills, the accuracy of their resumes, their salary expectations, and their confidence levels. I understood the job requirements, identified and selected suitable consultants through job portals, collected feedback, scheduled interviews, and coordinated candidates with senior managers.
I understand that my experience has mainly been at a junior level, and there are many aspects of HR management, such as CTC and payroll processing, that I have yet to explore. However, without opportunities, how can one gain experience and learn?
Thank you.
