CIPD L7 qualified 2 years ago... still not managed to land myself any jobs in HR

I acquired my CIPD level 7 certificate 2 years ago, yet I still have not managed to land myself any jobs in HR entry level positions.Seems like even for HR admin level jobs employers are looking for someone with 1/2 years HR experience. How one is suppose to gain any experience without getting an opportunity to work at entry level position? And if some one has 1/2 years HR admin level experience then wouldnt make more sense for them to look for something better given most entry level HR positions are offering same level of rewards. Even some customer service positions offer more monetary value then HR assistant positions . Hope you experts can give me some answers.

  • I'm in a bit of a similar dilemma myself. I'm transitioning into HR from another career, following redundancy. I'm studying for the level 5 Diploma whilst applying for entry-level jobs as I have loads of transferable skills but no direct HR experience. My question is: How do you get your foot in the door when you haven't got direct HR experience?
