Hi Eshan, are you attending your local CIPD branch meetings? They are a great way to network with other HR professionals and some opportunities may come your way via these. Details of how to get in touch are here: www.cipd.co.uk/.../branches

And remember you can attend more than one branch's events depending on what's convenient for you geographically. Eg in London there are several groups with different sessions going on!

I did this when I studied my level 3.. My first HR role was volunteering in a local housing association alongside the HR Advisor. I would advise you just apply to a few local offices and see if anyone responds. I always think it looks fab on my CV as it shows a willingness to want to learn.

Surely you just apply in the normal way as anyone else would?
