Hi, I have completed an MBA in HR and Marketing from the 2016 batch and am currently working as a TL in the BPO domain in the Finance profile. Due to a lack of HR job opportunities when I graduated, I had to take a BPO job to survive. It has been almost 6 years now since I started working.
However, I am now eager to transition my career to HR and align it with my aspirations, as I do not see much growth in my current role. Could anyone please help and guide me on how to land a job in HR?

Just to add more:
I completed my MBA from a Tier 3 college and had no idea where life would take me. I just wanted to earn money and build a career in the HR domain. However, reality hit hard, and I could not find an HR job. Due to that, I shifted my focus towards survival in a metro city, Delhi, and ended up in a BPO job at Accenture. Everything was sorted, and I had personal commitments as well. Now, after around 6 years, I am feeling stuck in my career and desperately want to switch to the HR domain.
Can someone please help?

As you have resolved to pursue a career in HR, you need to actively search for opportunities. With six years of work experience in a reputable company, it is essential to analyze this experience from an HR perspective - identifying both strengths and areas for improvement. The extended gap in your field may put you at a disadvantage, so staying informed about the latest developments in HR is crucial. Keep up-to-date by regularly visiting HR websites like citehr to enhance your knowledge. Persistence is key, but remember that you will be competing with fresh candidates; therefore, you must position yourself as a competent and valuable professional to achieve success.

Looking for an HR job just because you feel stagnated in your career is not the right reason for getting into the HR domain. It is also not necessary that since you studied HR (without putting much thought into why you chose it), you have to be stuck in this domain. You need to introspect and find out what your true interest is, and only then will you be able to excel in that.

Hi Both,
Thanks for your kind suggestion. I always wanted to get into HR only and have even appeared for interviews and applied for IJPs in Accenture as well. However, bad luck struck as either the requirement was for an experienced candidate or in the IJP, the position would go to someone else. Then came along COVID, during which having a job was more than enough and the comfort of working from home as well. In this process, almost two years have gone by, and now I am again looking for HR jobs as I really want to grow in this field.
