Hi,
I really feel sorry for you. However, my situation is worse than yours. I hold an LLB/MBA/Diploma in AD & PR, a PG certificate in Supply Chain, and have completed four to six projects. I also have about four years of experience in HR. Despite my qualifications and experience, I struggle to secure a job because people perceive me as too young and doubt the authenticity of my resume.
How should I address this challenge?
Don't worry; things will improve soon. Stay positive and hopeful. I will forward your resume to one of my friends; they might be able to assist.
Thank you,

Hi Octavious,
It's really sad to read your story, but at least you have six projects under your belt. In my case, I don't have any practical experience in HR. Well, I advise you the same and cross my fingers for you to get the good job. Amin.

Hi friend,
Don't get disappointed; your turn will also come. Please make some changes in your resume:
1. Remove details related to public administration.
2. Reference details.
3. Date of birth.
Focus in detail on various areas in HR that you are confident about. Since it is late, I don't know if I should say, but sometimes it's necessary to mention that you can put a few fake experiences. As an HR professional, I may doubt why you have not secured a job until now.
I know very well that getting a job depends on various reasons such as knowledge, experience, candidate appearance, good attitude, confidence, and luck. If possible, consider joining a company without a salary. This way, at least you will gain experience, and later you can negotiate for a salary or look for better opportunities. Many people follow this path to gain experience.
Don't worry, stay strong. Let me know when you get a job; I will be happy to hear about it.
Thanks,
Pallavi :)

Hi Polky,
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being young. In fact, you should make use of it to your advantage. I recommend reading a book - "Winning Job Interviews" by Dr. Paul Powers. It is a good guide.
Happy job hunting!

Hi,
I don't want to add something fake to my resume regarding experience, as I have at least 1 year of experience teaching graduate classes. The issue is that I am teaching economics, not HR. At the college level, there is no HR department, so I don't want to misrepresent myself because everyone already suggests that I should pursue teaching.
Can I mention that I have developed some HR policies for an imaginary organization and demonstrated it through a presentation, as I am capable of developing them? Thanks to cite HR.
Please, seniors, reply to me as soon as possible; I am in dire need of help.
Hey Karachi, if there is a position in HR, please let me know. I am willing to work for free to gain practical exposure. You can contact me at
.
I am still waiting for senior's advice. Please help me; there are so many views and only 3 replies. What happened to your group?
Thank you.

Hi,
I just gone thru the comments and ur concern..... u can send your cv to consultants and ask them to find jobs for you,even you tell consultants that you are willing to work in their consultancy since you will get the exposure to recruitment there and if its big consultancy then other exposure in HR also you will get.Upload your cv on job portals like monster.com,naukri.com and others
A apart from this you can read newspapers, be in touch with your friends who have passed out from your batch, see where they are placed, where they are trying, also get in touch with your faculty seniors they will be of help. Talk to your professors ask them if some campus recruitment is done if not ask them to get you placed. Or give names of the company who are looking for fresher.
If you do these I am sure you will find your way and don't loose hope.
All the Best.

Hi, I have gone through your resume. One has to work hard to find your strengths which advocate for you to get the job. I feel you can start your resume with your profile in which you briefly describe your personality, attitude, and reflect on your experience in internships and teaching.
Secondly, a fresher cannot become an HR manager without at least 4-5 years of experience. You should preferably apply for an HR Executive. Recruitment firms are always in need of such profiles.
Where are you located? It would be a good idea to have your resume done by a professional service like Naukri or Monster, etc. All the best, Alpana
