I was working in a company as an HR coordinator on a 6-month contract basis. Basically, I am from a Tamil medium background, so I don't have strong communication skills. After completing my MBA in HR, I got a job in the manufacturing industry as an HR Generalist. I learned a lot about HR work in that company and gained 1 year of experience. Afterwards, I got married, which led to a 3-year gap in my profession. Now, I struggle with communication, but I haven't forgotten what I learned in my previous company. Currently, I am working in the field of joining formalities, which is essentially data entry work.
During the interview, I accepted the contract because the interviewer assured me that after 6 months, I would be made a permanent employee and would receive ESI and PF benefits. So, I agreed to work. However, I have now realized that I don't have any defined roles and responsibilities here, and there is no learning process. I need some advice on this situation. I am really confused about whether I should quit the job or continue. There are still 2 months left to complete my contract period. I am very interested in learning more about HR statutory compliances like ESI, PF, and the payroll process. What should I do?

Make the available time an opportunity to learn further. There are only two more months left for six months. Be patient and don't stop exploring opportunities. In anybody's career, these kinds of ups and downs are not a rare experience, and you are not alone in this journey; there are lakhs, if not crores, like you. What is important is how you are converting this weakness into strength; this is where you will gain confidence and resilience.
Communication Skills
Communication skills cannot be mastered overnight; it's a continuous process. Read materials, especially in English, and read aloud when you are alone with proper punctuation and modulations. Pronunciation of English words is another problem for many due to the various dialects. In India, we follow a British type of dialect, though American and Australian dialects are also trending in recent days. For ease and convenience of learning, listen to English news channels and try to correct where you are making mistakes. Over the years, you will find yourself in a comfortable state. Don't ever lose momentum and confidence. Once you start believing it's not possible, you won't put in your sincere efforts to improve. Consistently trying is the need of the hour. All the best.
