Nice initiative
well, you could have also mentioned another discussion point
"HR Alumni cribbing/ranting generally about their companies OR looking for job change/referrals" to cater to the special needs of grey haired alumni like me"
after all we also seek old age homes for heart soothing nirvana

Appreciate your response sir :clap:
Was actually expecting the very first response from you looking at your contributions to the "Why HR" thread
Do keep enlightening people like me who are taking their baby steps in the world of HR...We will try and cater to your special needs
Do consultant firms recruit HR students? If yes, which are those firms? Names would help! :)
I am presently pursing my PGDM from T A Pai Management Institute, Manipal, Karnataka. Here, in the second year, we can choose subjects across specializations. I have made up my mind on HR, and would like to take subjects from another specialization - making my degree more general in nature, and also because I think that it would give me a better idea of the processes involved in the arena of business. I am a B.Tech in Civil Engineering from NIT,Silchar. I passed out last year and worked in Shapoorji Pallonji for 8 months as a Graduate Engineer Trainee. Though it might be too early to decide/ask, I would like to know that which other specialization (read subjects from specialization) would help someone like me wanting to work in the HR domain. Please keep my background in mind.
Thanks in advance!

See background matters, but you are taking a different trajectory by pursuing HR...so be open to all options, specially considering you don't have substantial work-ex (which is maybe good too, as most companies would be open for your profile, besides some work ex ensures a basic comfort with corporate life- a plus recruiters would definitely look into)
Many people prefer Marketing with HR (both requires a basic understanding of human psychology), plus as HR u do "internal branding"...concepts of HR might be generally helpful
Caution: Many people club Mark+HR thinking both require good "communication skills" (read smooth talking
) but I tend to disagree with this line of thought...any profession requires good communication skills these daysFin+HR is explosive for Compensation & Benefits role...concepts like time value of money, discounting factor are widely used in designing pension/retirement benefits, and taxation is always a hot topic for compensation analysts
Ops+HR is good for HR-Ops/HR Process Re-Engineering sort of jobs, something which lot of outsourcing companies do, HR Payroll+HR Outsourcing consultants

The "Why HR" thread is for discussions related to HR, mainly for the aspirants and 1st year B-Schoolers who are confused about their choice of specialization...
This thread is for students of HR programs across the country...They can share material/thoughts/inputs and anything that they feel is useful...

Hello puys,
It is usually advised that in the initial stages of the career one should try and work across different verticals of HR - Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, etc. I want to know which industries/companies provides this opportunity.
