HR Advisor position

Katy

Hi,

I'm hoping the CIPD community can help me here with some advice.

My work has recently advertised an HR Advisor post, which I'm keen to apply for as I feel I'm ready for progression.

My concern is that I won't be able to sufficiently compete with external applicants due to lack of experience in employee relations and casework.

Currently I work in the organisation in a recruitment/ employee lifecycle coordinator role, so I have a small amount of experience in advising on some matters (e.g. basic maternity, salary offers, fair recruitment) but predominantly it's admin related.

I'm planning to approach the contact for the recruitment this week as well to see what they suggest and what they are looking for. I was wondering in addition if anyone could provide some advice as to how I could best align my CV and apply for the role to give myself the best chance along with how best to approach a potential interview?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Katy

  • I Ithink approaching the internal recruiter is exactly the right thing to do. Either they will want to develop you internally or frankly it’s probably a lost cause. Therefore I personally wouldn’t spend a lot of time trying to massage your CV. They know you and will either think you have the potential and are worth investing in or they will need somebody with prior experience.

    Good luck hopefully they will be willing to invest in you
