Career progression 7 months post redundancy

Miranda Shieh

I could benefit from some advice please. I secured my first HR role post my MA as HR administrator and was promoted to a HR manager role within my organisation of less than 50 employees. I was made redundant after 6 years, took some time off and I am now looking to go back to work. I have been off for about 8 months and this appears to have made it difficult for me to secure my next position. I am considering especially part time roles including advisory roles but not secured any yet. The size of my organisation seems to matter a lot to potential employers as well.

Could anyone advise me on the best way forward as I would really like to get back in sooner.

  • I would recommend getting your foot in the door as an interim and/or volunteering so there is something current on your cv.

    Hi Miranda

    Following on from Peters suggestion about volunteering, that is what I have am doing in the interim. I am finding that there are very few opportunities in my area and those that do come are contracts/interim roles or, they are HR roles bound up with something else ie facilities/office manager etc.

    The charity that I am volunteering for have done some pioneering work in the field that they support and I am thrilled to be contributing to it. However, needs must and I do need paid employment too so I do hope that this will help once suitable opportunities arise.

    Whatever you decide, good luck to you Miranda
