hi guys, i would like to know which domain of hr is most suited for someone like me who is meticulous, analytical, have good critical tinking skills and organised? im someone who is fine wif talking wif ppl, but not terribly good at it. i would say i have good communication/ppl skills but not excellent. nid some advice. thx.

unless you're talking about management consultancies like accenture or even the banks, hr in singapore is largely chapalang rojak mix of admin, remuneration, training and talent retention aspects (esp among hr depts in the ministries and stat boards).

That's because admin departments in a lot of companies/stat boards have fradulently lableled themselves as HR.

Real HR dpts like the various COEs in large MNCs are highly specialized and paid very well, definitely not rojak admin. Most rojak HR ppl aspire to move up to do real HR strategy/policy work, but most kena stuck because skillset too different.

thx for the 2 replies from above. i applied for hr work in stat boards and ministries and from wad i see in the job description, it seems like rojak jack of trades. but if someone of my profile were to be in one or certain specialisations, which one(s) will fit me best?

People who are very meticulous, analytical, have good critical tinking skills and organised are engineers, and they earn ****, as everyone knows that. Just spew BS out of mouth can earn better than doing any actual work

Then learn to spew more bs.

It will likely be Rewards and/or Performance Management specialization. Bad thing is most MNC will not accept fresh grads straight to specialist, you either need to excel first as rojak & climb the ladder or join a reputable HR management consulting firm for a few years.

If you want to get serious pay & promotion prospect in HR, I suggest you dun join CS/Stat board right at the start, HR over there is condem to admin ops stuff and you learn nothing even if you spend many years there.

In terms of pay & career progression, what is the salary like after 5 yrs for a hr admin compare to specialise job like org dev, c&b, business partner, talent etc.

Yes, quite true. I am in business support cum hr suppport though i used to be as administrator for 10 year plus. I am making switch to hr ops specialist role. Can anyone advise me how much should i neg for? Current is 4900 (that is based on office admin experiences) tks

How about HR ops specialist in a mnc ? how much should be the salary? I am making career switch from Admin cum HR support to HR role. Current is 4900.
