Hi all,
Just wanted to gauge some of your experienced thoughts and opinions here.
Like a lot of people that have commented on this forum, I struggled to get my foot in the door of HR even with a CIPD level 3 and plenty of admin experience.
I landed a solid HR Officer role and and after 3 years I'm ready to progress as there is not much scope at my current company, however I'm having trouble getting responses from vacancies I'm more than qualified for. I really don't want to struggle like I did 3 years ago just to get another role and have almost exhausted all options.
Any suggestions where I may be going wrong or could improve? Any input will be much appreciated.
Hi Carole,
Don't assume you are doing anything wrong, it may just be that the current market is particularly tough.
You may like to review your approach to completing the application - are you focusing on your strengths, do you have personal examples that you can include? How much networking do you do, particularly in the HR community? Perhaps review the forums that you are involved with, are there anymore that might help get you noticed?
