LOST in HR

Hello

 

I completed my Masters in Human Resources Management which included CIPD in 2010.

I then secured my first HR job in a HR Shared Centre, the role then became at risk shortly after. I left and went to another organisation in a permanent role- HR Assistan and shortly after that role became at risk. I then found a job in the public sector and soon realised that it wasn’t for me. I then joined another HR Shared Centre for almost 3 years but there was little progression. I left and found my dream job but unfortunately it was only maternity cover. I am currently temping which comes to an end in August.

 

I have been in HR for almost 9 years and still only getting entry level jobs-HR Assistant, I have gained my Masters and CIPD. Please can someone advise what this would translate to now in the CIPD structure. I feel like I have stuck a dead end and feel like leaving HR altogether. I am a hard worker and always try my best at everything I do. I do like to ‘get things done’. But is that such a  bad thing?

  • Hi, have you spoken to your current manager? Any manager worth their salt should be very happy to have a career development discussion with a member of their team, even if they are working in a maternity cover role. You could explain that you want to progress and wondered if they could give you some honest feedback about what they feel may be holding you back and also what they would advise you to do to help you progress in their career.
