Dear Sirs/Madams, I hope you all had a great Diwali. Regarding the problem, after completing my MBA in HR, I joined an organization in May 2011 as Officer-HR. So, it's almost six months now. However, in these six months, I have hardly worked or learned anything. Almost 20 days of a month, I sit idle with no work at all. I am getting bored sitting idle almost every day.

It's good that you have a job. When it comes to learning, things can get tedious here. Instead of waiting for someone to assign you tasks, proactively seek out assignments. Help your colleagues with their work, conduct research related to your areas of interest, and ensure that it benefits your organization.
At this point in your career, it's crucial to take charge and channel your energy towards constructive thoughts. I understand that it may be challenging, but taking the first step is essential. If you've already tried any of these suggestions, please let us know, and we can come up with new ways to keep you engaged.
Take care,

Dear Samyak, Let me try and relook at your situation...
1. You have a job which you got just after completing your MBA in HR.
2. The job is a low-pressure, stable job, and you are not being made to sweat.
3. Your job, as it stands now, gives you enough bandwidth to learn and research on a proactive basis to improve your knowledge.
Hmm... and you were saying about not learning and feeling bored...
Let me ask you this...
1. How many processes that are followed in your organization are you aware of?
2. How many of them do you think need improvement?
3. What are those improvements?
4. What other aspects would you like to change in your organization?
Answers to the above questions would give you an indication of what you have learned and how much thought has gone in. My speculative reaction to your situation is that you have been waiting for someone to come and tell you what to do or give you work. Successful people have never, never been reactive personalities. They have always been proactive. And that's what you need to do. Become proactive, observe, listen, understand, contemplate, and act.
Job change is an absolute no, if you ask me.
Cheers!!!

As far as my knowledge goes, even in spare time, we can learn and understand many things about the company and its policies. Moreover, the friends who posted have explained it well.
Creating Opportunities for Oneself
It is about creating opportunities for oneself. The next opportunity will never be the same; it will be either better or worse than this one!
