Hi All, I have been working in the hospitality industry for 9 years, and for the last five years, I have served as a secretary to the GM. I completed my PGDBA in HR (2014-16) and have undergone HR training in our HR department. However, when applying for positions within or outside my company, I find that no one is willing to hire a fresher, as everyone prefers experienced candidates. If they do agree to hire me, the offer is half of my current salary. I possess excellent administrative skills, grievance handling, and proficiency in MS Office. The only drawback is my lack of practical experience in payroll.

The administration is treated as everybody's cup of tea; however, HR is considered a specialized job. Therefore, transitioning to HR would be a form of job enrichment. Since you have an interest in payroll management, when considering a career in HR, you may want to express your preference for this type of work. It's important to note that payroll is just one aspect of HR. To fully immerse yourself in the field, you should also familiarize yourself with more complex HR management tasks such as developing compensation policies, talent management, industrial relations, compliance management, and so on.
