Progression post CIPD Level 5 qualification

Anyone else struggling to progress even after achieving level 5 In Human Resource management?  After qualifying, employers now want experience but with many organisations unwilling to give me an opportunity, I can't help but feel the qualification wasn't worth getting.

  • Second others who have recommended CIPD branch events, also depending where you are based you may find other HR networking events, seminars etc (in London there are loads!)

    No qualification alone is going to get you a job, what is your previous relevant experience and what level are you trying to apply for?

    Are there ways you can use your new knowledge in your current position? Are there sideways steps you could take in the organisation you're in?

    If you're not currently in an HR-related role, getting an initial role at a more junior level could be a way to help build up experience and achievements that can help your CV for a more senior position.
