Hi All, I have 4 yrs of IT experience in Dotnet. But i realised that I am more interested in dealing with people than coding.So I did my full time Masters in Human Resource Management..I started looking for internship or entry level job..but am not getting any offers. Is my IT background a hurdle? I really need tips to make my career in HR.

Hi Shravani,
Chances of getting job in any consultancy as an IT recruiter is higher looking into your experience. Try out there definitely you'll get selected other then that try to focus on:
1. Oral and written communication
2. Knowledge of Portal
3. Recruiting methods
4. Attitude
I suggest you that don't feel that your experience is hurdle for you to get job in HR. Infact its an advantage for you as you can screen CVs better and can take technical interview as well.
First start with consultancy then it will be easy for you to go for Corporate.
Wish you all the best!
