Hello friends, I have 4 years of HR experience in a government organization, but they do not provide an experience certificate. Can I mention this experience in my resume? How can I demonstrate that I have this experience? Please suggest... Regards

Hi friend,
Why didn't you request an experience certificate from that organization? Alternatively, you can demonstrate your period of work experience by:
1. Submitting the offer letter
2. Appointment letter
3. ID card
4. Payslip
5. Bank statement showing your salary credit from that organization
6. PF statement
7. Any other benefits provided during that period
Can you please specify why they didn't issue an experience letter to you?

Hi 
,
Thanks for your response. Actually, the problem is no one in my organization wants to be answerable for the experience certificate. Another reason is that they think I may leave the job if I get a better opportunity based on a certificate issued by them. As it is a government organization, you cannot question anybody as they are not bound to do so. I have sufficient proof to prove that I was on the job, but not specifically in HR functions as I was not appointed for HR roles but was working for it.
So, how can I mention the same in my resume as I do not have any proof thereof? I fear that despite having sound experience, I may have to start again as a fresher. Are there any solutions to this problem? Is there a chance that any employer may hire me by testing my expertise through an interview or a probation? It is worth mentioning that I am an MBA (HR) from IGNOU and presently pursuing a Dip in TD from ISTD.
Seniors/HR managers are requested to respond, please.
Thanks again,

First, find out what the actual process is in your company. Is it specific to you alone, or is it the same process followed for all employees in the organization? Do they have a process for issuing Service and Experience letters upon being relieved from the company?
Never include anything in your resume except your educational qualifications, experience level, the work you have handled, the companies you have worked for, your personal details, certifications, extracurricular activities, etc. During the interview, address any concerns openly, be honest, and provide all necessary proof to support your experience. Mention that the offer can be cross-checked with your previous company. This approach will likely lead to a successful job application. However, why do you want to leave a government job?
