Progression post CIPD Level 5 qualification

Dede

Welcome to the communities.

If you do a search on here you will find countless people in a similar situation and lots and lots of good advice. Mostly around networking, volunteering and being very very persistent.

Qualifications are generally very worth getting but they are not golden tickets rather they are part of what’s needed to progress. Qualifications and progress are the dual ingredients.

Keep trying and look at some of that past advice.

Keith.

Thanks Keith.

Thanks Keith.

Hi Dede,
I replied to another similar post on this - stick with it, use LinkedIn, tailor your CV, ask for specific feedback from applications you have made and ask around, perhaps there are people you know who could use some HR support. Seek out volunteer opportunities.
CIPD branch events are great for networking too. Your qualification is absolutely worth it but as Keith said, not an immediate way in.

Thank you Lorraine. I am currently part of the Northamptonshire CIPD Branch and support as treasurer. I also attend events which are great for networking. I am looking to get more into HR Project management so seeking opportunities in that area.
