I read thru this thread and found this argumentative post,

I was with a SME (11 ppl) for almost 2 years before i join HP, Hewlett-Packard.

The reason they hired me because i really contribute alot in the SME.

It is your attitude count.. wahliao...

You are confusing the whole issue - the real question is you join HP as what? As ops generalist or strategy specialist side? Anyone can join the generalist side, there are lots of openings to even freshies for these low level jobs, just that pay & progression is slow & limited.

Most people here are trying to ask how to position to get into specialist jobs, not generic mnc admin jobs.

HP HR junior exec is confirm generalist / shared service in Singapore. Their HR Partnering / COE h/c is located mostly in HK/China and a few in India. The few specialists based in Singapore are all very senior level, definitely not with only 2 years exp in SME.

what is generalist? and what is specialist? I tried fcuking hard to get in HP also cannot get in..

Hi just off topic a little. I met one of HP employees a few days ago and he told me the Apac office is in Singapore. Is there any reason why spec roles will be based outside of RHQ?

Sorry I was not clear earlier. What I mean is the specialist leads making up the HR leadership sit in Singapore region office, but most of the specialists are actually station at various countries where HP has a big presence. It's a virutal team with virtual reporting. My info is >1 year ago, but Im sure nothing much has changed. Thats why I'm very sure the 2 year SME person above belong to ops or admin side.

how to be hr specialist? must take what course or degree?

Thanks for the clarification.

Hi,

I'm in T&D operations role and is currently drawing 3K. I felt that I'm underpaid below market rate. Am I wrong?

Just to add, I have a degree and have been in this role for 4+years...
