Frequently Asked Questions

1. HR fresher with no corporate HR job — what to write?

Use placement cell, internship, volunteer recruitment, and certifications. Quantify candidates screened or events organized.

2. Recruiter vs HR generalist — different resume?

Recruiter resumes emphasize closure numbers and sourcing channels; generalist resumes balance recruitment, payroll, and policy work.

3. Should I mention expected CTC?

Keep on Naukri profile; resume space is better for tools and hiring metrics.
