My ideal job role is Human Resource Manager. The human resource management is
considered as the most important function of any business organization. Human resource

I would like to work in multinational company because this will help me to enhance
the knowledge, skills and capabilities. This job role will allow me to expose to an evolving
nature of complexities of the diverse workforce, strategic management and legal obligations
for accomplishing the goals and objectives of company. By working in the multinational
corporations as a Human Resource manager I will be capable for effectively managing the
different activities at a time, managing diverse employees, increase legal knowledge and
overall working of the business.
Describe ideal job.
In the role of HR Manager, I will be having many roles, duties and responsibilities.
The role of HR Manager is continuously and constantly evolving, I the quest for integrating
the strategies and operations of business organization across the wide array of ideas, cultures,
products and services. My first role will be hiring and recruiting the employees that are
suitable to the job positions. I will also have to provide them with required training and
development programs. Performance management, providing rewards and appraisals will be
my other roles and responsibilities in the company as a HR Manager. Appendices 1 shows the
job description of the HR Manager role.
The Human Resource Manager were confined for handling the basic data work,
routine record keeping and other basic tasks of company. But to the increasing diversity of
workforce and globalization of companies, the role of Human Resource Management and its
HR Manager is evolving constantly. It will further change in 4 years when I will graduate. I
need to be more development oriented and focus on modern approaches for effectively
managing the people.
I don't think these changes will lead to impact the people who are looking to work in
the same role in the future. With the increasing globalization and increasing employment
opportunities, the complexities of any job role gets increased specially in the Human
Resource Department.
