Hi,
I have been working in an IT professional services company as an IT (Recruiter) for the past year, and now I want to transition into a Generalist HR role. I would like all of you to suggest whether I should ask my senior management for an Internal Job Posting (IJP) opportunity or explore opportunities outside the organization.
This question has been on my mind because during a previous meeting, my management mentioned that they do not prefer employees moving internally within the organization. However, I now seek advice from seniors on whether I should still approach my management regarding an IJP or consider opportunities elsewhere.
PLEASE SUGGEST
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
What is your experience in HR? If you have only one year of experience, do not make decisions so fast. The generalist profile typically takes about one to two years to develop, but it requires a lot of experience to reach that level. First, prepare yourself by understanding the activities carried out by HR generalists and do some homework. Identify the activities being carried out in your company. Conduct a comparative analysis and, after some time, if you feel comfortable, then plan your move. In many cases, you may find that the generalist role is preferred by only a few companies, mostly at the top management level.

Dear Mr. Murali,
Welcome to the HR community. Preferring an HR manager job is a first step towards pursuing a real administrative position. You cannot administer or coach machinery or plant, but you can manage human resources in the right way for the benefit of the employer and employee.
The first qualification to become an HR professional is to obtain a basic degree in HR, and the second important quality is being a compassionate human being. Your role should be that of a benevolent ruler who guides the team with a human touch.
When you decide to pursue a career in HR, do not worry about your company's policies initially. Instead, focus on upgrading your qualifications for the position and thoroughly study the current structure of your HR department. Come up with ideas that are interesting and beneficial to your management and request a position in the HR department.
If they decline citing company policy, do not be disheartened. Try elsewhere and secure a job in your preferred field. You will only shine when you land a role in your chosen field. Your creativity will flourish, and your chances of excelling in your profession will increase.
A dead man never moves, whereas a person with life must keep moving. Action is prayer.
Best wishes,

Hi,
Thanks, Suresh & Ethirajulu, for your help. Actually, I am not trying for any HR Manager post; I just want to try for an HR Generalist post. I had previous experience in operations where I was handling training for 2 years and now in recruitment for the past year. That's the reason I thought this would be a feasible time for me to move ahead as a generalist HR. I am preparing myself in all aspects of a generalist HR.
I have completed my MBA in HR. Ethiraj, should I study the structure of the company management or the structure according to the departments? Please suggest to me.
Thanks & Regards,
