Hello Sir/Madam, I have been working as an HR Executive in a reputed automobile dealership for 8 years. I have not done any professional course with HR Management whatsoever; the main reason is my graduation percentage is less than 50%. I have started this job just to survive in my city. And I performed very well in administrative area sometime I handles Joining, Adequacyv& Retention, T&D, Salary, Incentive, Induction & Orientation, R&R etc. The management tried to promote me as an HR Manager but Area Office denied saying 'He does not have a degree and deep HR processes knowledge, he is good as an administrator though'. The salary I get is just okay to survive. If I want to make big income for me and my family what options do I have? I am ready to go abroad or change city if it requires.

Ans: One option is to do correspondence MBA. Second option would be to do short term courses that could help you get the required skill set to get a promotion.

Dear Mayank, Please guide me as to what I should do. I'm working as an HR officer (offrole). I am 30 years old. My salary is below the minimum wage rate. I have been working here since 1.9 years but still have got no increment. I'm a career oriented person. I want to move to the next position. When I was offered this job, it was mentioned I would be taken onroll after 1.5 yr to 2 years. But still there is nothing being done. New people that are being hired on same profile as me are hired on onroll (FTC) with salary higher than mine. Moreover, some HR interns have also been hired and once they are absorbed in the company, they will be on the company’s payroll. An HR intern whom I have trained from A to Z and is a fresher is being offered a regional HR position. This is a position that is higher than mine. I cannot understand why someone like me who has 1.9 years of experience in the company is not even considered. I have got an offer from a pharmaceutical company and I have resigned from my current job. But I'm still confused about whether I should leave this company or not. Please guide me about what to do so that I can grow on my career. In the current company, there is a lot of politics and I'm not able to deal with it. I'm losing my confidence. I want to keep this anonymous. Thank you.
Ans:

You must discuss these concerns you have regarding your career not growing in the same manner as your colleagues with your manager or HR.

If it can be resolved, then continue on your current role.

Else, you can consider the new job after you have done due diligence about the new company and its management.
