Hi all, I am a working professional with 4 years of experience in the fields of operations, back office, and administration. Currently, I am pursuing a PGDBM and am looking to transition into the world of HR.
Career Transition Inquiry
Firstly, I would like to inquire whether a degree from CDL will help kickstart my career in HR or not. Secondly, will my 4 years of experience bring value to my HR journey, or should I consider starting fresh in this field?
Regards,
Piyush

I also started as a Front Desk Executive. Later, after 4 months as an Executive in Administration, I learned basic HR functions like attendance and timekeeping, etc. So, I believe you don't need to start as a fresher if you have a good hands-on admin profile. But keep visiting CITE HR and try to learn from threads and postings to understand HR work, responsibilities, and to expand your knowledge. I did the same, and today, I am successfully handling the HR department single-handedly. Whenever I get stuck, I seek help from seniors at CITE HR. You can do the same.
Kind regards

If you want to start your career in HR, below are some useful pieces of information for you:
Degrees to Prepare for a Career in Human Resources
The Occupational Outlook Handbook predicts that career and job opportunities will be most available in Human Resources for people who keep these three key points in mind:
"The educational backgrounds of these workers vary considerably, reflecting the diversity of duties and levels of responsibility.
"Certification and previous experience are assets for most specialties and are essential for more advanced positions, including managers, arbitrators, and mediators.
"College graduates who have earned certification should have the best job opportunities."
Many colleges and universities have educational programs that lead to degrees in Human Resources, HR specialties such as training and development, or business. Depending on the school you choose, courses leading to a career in Human Resources management will be found in departments such as business, education, instructional design or technology, organization development, human services, communication, or public administration.
Qualifications to Prepare for a Career in Human Resources
Some of the key skills and personal qualifications you will need to work successfully in Human Resources include:
- Effective interpersonal skills to interact successfully.
- Knowledge of computers and information systems.
- Effective spoken and written communication.
- Comfort with diverse people who have various educational levels, cultural heritages, religious practices, ages, work experience, and opinions.
- Understanding of statistics and finance.
- Conflict resolution skills.
- Ability to set and accomplish goals and work as a member of a team.
- Demonstrate a high level of integrity, confidentiality, and fairness.
Experience to Prepare for a Career in Human Resources
It is difficult to break into a career in Human Resources above the entry level. Successive positions at the HR generalist and manager level, or above, require the knowledge and experience obtained in entry-level positions.
Occasionally, experienced individuals who have held managerial-type positions in business, government, or the military might be considered for positions above entry level. They should consider obtaining certifications or taking coursework related to their Human Resources area of interest in preparation.
If you are seeking an entry-level HR position, try to obtain some experience while you are in college as an intern. Even part-time work or an internship in other fields adds to your potential as a candidate. Leadership roles in clubs, volunteer experiences, club or college sports, and real-world projects for a company add to your credibility as a candidate.
