Don’t over think it. Lots of people go to get an MS to support a change in career or supplement. Is it your acceptance essay that you need help with? Talk about how you use data to understand attrition, you realized your passion for data and analytics when you were working on x, how a data driven approach to HR is lacking and this degree will spring board you to solve y, analytics and AI is the future so you want to ensure your knowledge aligns with current trajectory, and so on.

Data is everywhere, shouldn’t be a stretch to find a correlation of why you want to pursue additional education in the subject.

Good luck!!

That's right your data skills. Yours just going to be in a different angle. The way you sort/filter/select right candidates for the job where you are (cleaning a pool of candidates). What criteria do you use for this process? Here you can talk about methodology in doing the selection. How do you tackle the industry requirements and requirements that your company has -> that can be your own research and something that you developed on your own, comparing mechanisms. Can you see the performance of the candidates that you recommended and say that they excelled at their work (e.t., career growth, percentage of it).

I would make sure to talk about how data analysis is will improve your work/build upon your background. I did an MSM in data analytics, coming from a background in marketing, so my admissions interview was centered around market analytics and how I wanted to expand my technical skills to bridge the gap between theory and technical application/execution.

You must focus on data driven projects you have managed, like candidate journey funnels, attritions rates , compensation analytics etc. It falls under people analytics. Getting a lot of traction now a days.
Few of my friends were working inthis domain and they did a lot of work integrating data from ATS to EDW and overhaul the hiring process and made it more efficient. Tools: SQL, ATS API in python, Tableau or any other dashboarding tool.

I'm two thirds through the PMA Core Certification, and the info is great but the tests are a joke. They need to contract with an educator that specializes in testing and assessment to come in and develop exams that actually measure if you know the material. The bad test design devalues the certification. Not to zero, but I definitely will not be proud to have earned it. It just means I had $1300 and sat through 15 hours of video lectures.

I have been searching for job from quite a long time and all I have seeing HR/Panels asking for

Is it really that important ?

Being joined as a fresher - Is it really something that I can decide whether to be in support or implementation project ?

Is upgrading of ECC to S4 Hana in my hands ? And the difference is really that vast ?

My old employer asked me if I wanted to come back to the company as a manager. The pay will likely be much better and the position holds more responsibility than I’ve had before, so overall it would be a step up.

I’m torn because the opportunity is great but the stress was awful. Continued in comments…

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
