Hi, I have experience as a HR Recruiter and vendor manager (including day to operations) for a total of 2.5 years. Now I'm planning to resume my career as an HR. I have been applying to so many HR jobs from but all gone in vain because of so many rejections and current market. I feel due to my digital transformation, AI inclusion and no experience in other HR roles like payroll, engagement, compensation and benefits and so on is the reason for not getting selected. My parents are not ready to risk to pay for HR certification courses as job is not guaranteed. I am in my late 20's. Due to marital pressure and family pressure they are asking me to switch to IT job (SAP). I am unable to make a decision. Should I continue to search in HR job or should I look into IT as suggested. Kindly help me

Ans: Kavi, you have correctly identified that HR necessitates extensive knowledge, as Recruitment and Staffing are merely one of its many functions. Furthermore, the process of identifying and securing the most suitable candidates for the organization has become progressively more complex due to a range of factors. It is advisable to explore HR Recruitment opportunities through LinkedIn Job Alerts. The lack of supplementary skills, knowledge, or certifications in HR is a significant reason for the rejection of your resume. Kindly refine your resume by incorporating relevant keywords. For guidance on creating an effective resume, please visit my YouTube channel, edujob360, at your convenience and prepare your resume accordingly. Furthermore, you have the option to enroll in an IT Certification Course, available in both in-person and online formats, through a recognized institution. It is essential to conduct comprehensive research on the course curriculum, job guarantee or assistance, reviews of the course or institution, fees, course duration/times, and other pertinent factors before enrolling in any certification course, whether online or offline. All the BEST for Your Prosperous Future.

I have completed my msc in biochemistry n now doing internship but I am confusing about my future because I see this field don't pay me inuff for life even for future... N don't have more jobs in Maharashtra. I don't like production jobs but in Pharma only production pay much so what can I do .. Can u suggest me which job is high payable after Msc biochemistry
Ans: Hi Nandu,

Greetings!

Could you please let me know which year you completed your course and whether you are currently doing an internship or apprenticeship? An internship is part of the curriculum, where students gain practical training, sometimes with a stipend and sometimes without. After completing your course, you can opt for an apprenticeship, which typically lasts one to one and a half years and includes a stipend, usually split 50%-50% between the industry and government.

If you are in the internship phase, please inform me about the specific field you are working in. Initially, you may not expect a high salary, but after gaining expertise in your field, your compensation will improve. Typically, this takes about three years, so it’s important to focus on skill acquisition for a better future.

If your internship aligns with your field of study, I encourage you to continue and consider starting a medical lab or exploring opportunities in medical devices related to biochemistry. However, pursuing a career in pharmaceutical production may not be suitable for you, as it is a different field, and you may find it challenging to grasp the processes involved since you are currently inexperienced in that area.

Please share the specific field of your internship, and I would be happy to provide more tailored advice.
with regards
