only 2 ways, either get into a MAP of a top MNC or join the big management consultancies. both ways very competitive and require good grades from good uni.

the other way is to sign up as hr exec and work your way up through the admininstrative ladder. base on the usual industry exp, if ur good u can get a entry level specialist role usually in ur mid to late 30s

Default HR-related Jobs - How much are you earning?

Hi all, need help from pros.
I am graduate in HR Diploma course in Malaysia.
Currently working in Singapore. I wish to continue my degree (HR and Financial Management) in SHRI academy.
They told me only 1 chance to do the re-examination and re-coursework on which fail subject.
Mean, if fail second time then have to retake the whole course?
My English is not good, especially the grammar. May i know the Examination will mark the English grammar? How difficult the examination?
Anyone know the student graduration rates for this HR and Finanacial in SHRI?
I haven't register for the course, i am lack of confident to pass the exam.
Anyone taken this course can answer my doubt?
Your advice is much appreciated, thanks very much.

shri is a joke organization made up of mostly old hr aunties & uncles from local firm mainly doing clerical work.

their certs are so easy to get that it is no different than a mill, which also means it is of no value in terms of pay & progression in most places.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
You mean this is not a good course? So, most of the Singapore company won't recognize this certs?
But they told me they are recognize by Singapore Education system and the degree is offer by "Edinburgh Napier University" one of the Top 20 in the UK Universities?
I am really confusing now, i don't want to waste my money and time to get a unrecognize that can't help on my career. Do you have more information to share with me? Thanks so much, i really need some info to help me make decision. thanks again.

I don't know about this Edinburgh Napier University, best is for you to go MOE website and check if this university is recognized by government. Can also call them just to be sure. If it is maybe you still have a chance in a deg gov job though you will rank behind local u, SIM & other private full time aussie degrees. Also being Malaysian means a sizable chunk of jobs in more sensitive ministries / stat board is out for you.

As for any degree affliated with SHRI, don't have too high hopes for the private sector. The global MNCs or local listed companies don't give 2 hoots about SHRI and none of their senior HR people want to have anything to do with them. They will likely hire you as a freshie poly grad.

For SMEs the towkays cannot even be bothered to find out whats the difference between 1 distance learning degree from another. SHRI tires to market itself like the CFA/CPA equivalent of HR, but you will hardly find any HR professional worth his/her salt involved with them.

meh that sounds bleak. graduated with 2nd upper but it probably means nothing especially since 1) so many uni students these days and 2) the industry favours biz graduates..

Why not get a comms job since you graduated with a comms degree?

Are you a ntu comms studies graduate?

I'm a comms degree holder (good honours) too and I applied for a few HR positions in the civil service, even generalist ones, because I'm interested in getting into training or org devt type roles eventually, but not even shortlisted for any interviews.

It's so competitive out there that even when they say 'any degree' and 'open to fresh grads' they'll usually hire those with relevant internships and/or the plethora of biz/psychology grads.

hey there, nope. i just graduated from nus (2nd upper) in dec! i've been shortlisted for interviews with 2 stat boards so far and have gone for mindef's psychometric test too but have yet to hear back..

i think someone in this forum mentioned that the govt sector does not offer "real" specialized roles like c&b, l&d etc (please correct me if i'm wrong) so i'm contemplating whether i should even take the civil service route. sigh.

well right now i'm wondering if i should apply for marcomms.. but then again i know zilch about marketing and i would think that business grads, as usual, have an advantage over me. and to be honest, i focused more on media studies while in university. this is where my passion (and strength) lies in. so i'm not all that confident of my abilities to do communication mgmt. crap.
