Hi People,

Need some advice on career development. Understand that HR is a wide spectrum, and that there's various fields in which one can specialise in. Therein lies my question: is it possible to specialise in one without having experience in generic HR at all?

Reason I'm asking is because I'm interested in Organisational Development/Excellence, and I understand that it is one of the specialised field under HR. And it usually comes with L&D. However I am not a biz/hr major, and no prior experience in HR whatsoever. But I've been dealing with OD/OE issues for the past 4 years.

Is it prudent to follow down this track, without any experience in general HR?
