Dear Priya,
As you have mentioned that you already have experience working as a customer service associate, it might be wise for you to pursue a career in the same field. I am suggesting this with the thought that the experience you gain from the BPO could potentially lead you to transition into the HR department within the same company. Regarding the job opportunity in a placement consultancy, we are all aware of the typical job roles within such firms.
I believe that you could maximize your potential by exploring opportunities fully, and taking a job in a placement consultancy may not present a favorable image on your resume. My suggestion is that you consider starting in the BPO sector and gradually working towards a role in the HR department of the same organization. Please remember that this is just a suggestion, and the decision ultimately rests with you to choose the job that aligns best with your goals.

Hi Priya,
I guess this is first time am responding to your query.. :D
Good course you have pursued..
Whether to work as Associate in a BPO or as a Recruitment Consultant is your career choice. Am sure you would have settled for the later as you have pursued the HR course and also as a consultant you have an edge over others as you have worked in the operations so you would have a better understanding of the positions and decide whether the candidate would "fit in"...
As far as your efforts for Corporate level..all i can say that be positive and be persistent..since you have become a senior member of this forum am sure the nuggets shared here has complemented your knowledge base & skills..therefore it's the matter of the application..
Don;t give up.. :D and review your skills & profile constantly while meeting the prospective companies...
Good luck...
Cheers,

Hi Rajat,
I am a new member of this community. I recently completed an MBA in HR and IT and started working as an HR Executive. I am happy with the field, but all my friends and classmates have gone into marketing and have been well-placed with lucrative pay packages. I am the only person working for a small firm at a low wage. Sometimes I feel that I made the wrong decision by choosing HR and get demotivated when I see them. Please help me overcome this problem. Should I consider changing fields, or should I have patience and gain valuable experience in the same field for a brighter HR career in the future, even though HR is considered a slow field?

Dear Priya,
I suggest that you go into work for the consultancy, since you will get used to the procedures of procuring and filling out the positions. You will gain more knowledge on the recruitment side, and since you have taken the MBA - HR as your specialization, it will be quite useful.
