HR Aspirants Today - Plan for Tomorrow

CAMPUS DRIVE PHOTOGRAPH - 5th FEB2011


I would like to narrate our experience with HR Professionals over the last few months of 2011. The following are the Results that we had our experience to hire HR professionals for core HR processes. The statistics related to our journey in last 2 months.

- Locations Campus Drive Conducted : 3 - Nagpur, Pune & Hyderabad
- Number of people attended the Drive:625 - HR Aspirants
- After First Shortlist asked them to make a Presentations: 40
- We have Short-listed for Final Interviews based on Ability of Presentation : 25
- Finalised for Offers : 5 (Ratio- 1:125) : .0.8% of success in making offer

A success Rate of 0.8% for HR professionals,this shows a great deal of preparedness of our future HR professionals right at the college. I am sure this is the same challenge you face when you get into the market to prove yourself in attracting the right talent.

Some of the key things we noticed and its helpful for future aspirants for improvement/Gap as are below:

- Gap in Understanding of HR operations in any organisation
- Gap in Understanding the HR Opportunities & Job Role
- Little Understanding and Investigation about the company they are applying
- The logic about how the compensation is paid to them and what is the value that they bring to the table for organisation.
- Ability to see the near term future for their First Job which would build their career.



Few Things one can do to get what you want :

- Physical Fitness : Its important to run your brain effectively and being active in the process.
- Mental Fitness : Regular exercise of brain with Industry update and also HR Knowledge in the real world.
- Preparation : To identify the people who are working in the organisation where you are applying. This would help correct information about the organisation, job and the work culture.
- Guidance : Inputs and the perspective about Industry professionals would help to a large extent. We are yet to come across any Industry professionals who would not stress point about experiential learning and real-life understanding.
- Self Discipline : This is very very important to make a great career in Future.
- Decision Making : End of the day you write your own destination with our right decision making. You can take inputs from all the sources but take your decision and standby...do not fear the failure at the beginning. There is no perfect solution in the real world.

Like any business, you are investing you TIME in the First opportunity, do your best and reap the best benefit of LEARNING. If there is no LEARNING first place you would not be valued in the organisation which in-turn define your EARNING.

Wish each and every aspiring HR professional a great career.
