HR-related Jobs - How much are you earning?

Personally, I'll choose a general business degree from UOL.
and then if you want, continue with masters/grad dip in HR.

1) In general, which university is more recognised in Singapore?

2) I have a diploma in information technology from SP, but i am looking to switch to HR. Will i face difficulties in getting accepted because i studied something unrelated to HR and also what are my job prospects as compared to those from local universities(be realistic i can handle it) once i graduate?

3) What is the difference between a "Generalist" and "Specialist" in terms of what they do and? Also L&D, C&B?

I'm ignorant but i hope to learn more =]

Actually I doubt both of these will make any difference. Essentially these certs will help you secure a generalist hr/admin exec job. From there it's up to you to move up. Don't waste time on anything else like Masters or PhD, nobody in corporate takes them seriously unless you want to stay in academia.

As for "specialist", you can think about it many years later. As it is now your chances of moving into real specialist role (with big pay) is 0%. The ones with fake job titles are essentially all generalist/operations role, so no difference in pay.

Hi all hr professionals,

Like to enquire whether in SG context, can candidates decline to disclose his or her previous salary package?

One article suggest that revealing your salary history has the potential to negatively affect your income for your entire career. There’s nothing wrong with politely but firmly declining to disclose it.

Polite answer by saying I can help you assess what I am worth to your coy and what can I provide to add value to this role.

Has anyone receive such replies from applicants before?

The HR will politely entertain you then laugh at your nativity once you are gone and dump your application.

Hi, can anyone kindly give a rough estimated salary for Microsoft HR Graduate Programme (MACH)?

Hi guys,

Would like to check if the degrees from the types of schools matters when you're searching for a job after graduation? How does a degree in HRM from unisim compare to those from kaplan's murdoch or uni of Dublin HRM degrees? Unisim has more modules as compared to Murdoch or UCD. Would that also affect you getting a job in hr assuming you're a fresh grad?

Looking forward to hearing your opinions TIA

Doesn't matter, they will all be collectively seen as private degrees. Having said that as long its not MNC or public sector, most SME in private sector are willing to hire HR execs with private degrees as long as you are presentable and can interact well with others. Other than specialist that need in depth knowledge, the rest of HR is very soft skill customer service cum admin type.
