Hello everyone, this is Rima from Kolkata. I am an engineering graduate, and I have 1.6 years of experience in the IT domain as a Technical Consultant. Now, I'm seeking a career in HR and currently undergoing training on practical HR concepts. I have recently been offered a position as a student/education counsellor with a leading training institute in Kolkata. I really need some guidance and expert advice regarding this job profile, career prospects, and the salary guide for this profession.
Eagerly awaiting a reply.

Based on my knowledge, a Student/Education Counselor's job does not fall under HR, although the objective of the job is related to HR through counseling. When we discuss the Counselor job, it is considered a role in sales and marketing, especially when it is in a training institute. This position is target-oriented, so it is important to determine that first. If you are interested in pursuing a career in HR, consider starting with recruitment as there are numerous opportunities available for a recruiter position.
Good luck!

Hi Friend,
As per my knowledge, a Student/Education Counselor job doesn't come under HR, although the objective of the job relates to HR, i.e., "counseling." When we talk about a Counselor job, it is a good job and comes under sales and marketing, especially in a training institute. This job will be target-oriented, so first, find out about that. If you are interested in pursuing a career in HR, then start with recruitment because you will find many opportunities for a recruiter position. Good luck.
Thanks a lot, Spriya, for answering my query. I had a further discussion with the employer regarding the job description, and they also mentioned that the job will be target-based and is basically a marketing profile. I am a bit apprehensive about working in any target-oriented profile. Is recruitment also about achieving targets? Are there any recruitment profiles that are not target-based?
Regards,
Spriya
