advice needed
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?

Dun udnerstand. So you have 4 years experience dealing with OD/OE already and yet still asking whether you should go to general HR???
I mean assuming you are really doing proper OE work your salary should be about 2-3 times of a HR ops/generalist person, why would you want to take a massive paycut to go back operations?

The reason why I'm asking is because I have no HR background nor experience at all. And being specialised will limit my options, more so for a field under HR. I've noticed several job adv recruiting people with experience in HR, and experience in specialised role (i.e. L&D, Comp and Ben, OE etc.). I'm therefore wondering if without any HR experience, will I be at a disadvantage in time to come.
Thank you for all those had provided your inputs thus far!

Sorry, I'm still not sure where you are getting at. As a specialist in OE you are probably now making close to or exceeding what most HR ops/generalist people can ever make in their whole career, why is there a concern of disadvantage?
If you are asking whether you should broaden your knowledge in other areas like L&D, C&B, ER, BP etc. I can still understand, but when you are in a position where your career is higher than even the most seasoned of ops generalist, I really can't see where this is going.
Even if hypothetically you decide to move to HR operations for the fun of it, where in the world are you going to find any company to pay your current package to do ops stuff? Even if 20 years down the road HR generalist can broaden your career, are you going to take a 50% paycut in pursuit of that? If not, what is there to ask?

Hi guys, I am interested in organisational/industrial psychology. I understand that in Singapore, this field is mostly 'merged' with HR functions. Does anyone here have experience working in organisational psychology? I am wondering if it is worth pursuing a qualification in psychology or should I not bother and go with something more versatile like business.

just a qn
hi, I've completed my deg. just wondering if i applied for a job position as a "fresh grad" deg holder job, will my past few years of working experience as a dip holder be taken into consideration since I'm switching to another industry, and will my half a decade of volunteer work experience be considered as well in order to get a higher salary. diff job scope but somewhat related in the sense that its working with children.

hmmm
just graduated with a degree in communications (hons) and am interested in pursuing a career in compensation and benefits having dabbled in HR briefly while i was still schooling.
i've read through some posts on this thread and it seems like whatever experience gained as a HR exec/generalist would be of no(t much) value when it comes to specialized roles like c&b, l&d etc. yet at the same time, it's remotely possible to land a c&b job as a fresh grad. so what are my options then? would anyone be so kind to advice how i should proceed from here? thanks!
