10 year gap working in HR. What steps should I take?

Christine

After my previous role was made redundant during my maternity leave, I was left in a position unable to seek new employment. I was informed my role would be terminated the day after giving birth. This experience left a stain I am yet to overcome.

During my 10yrs gap, I was raising my family and seeking HR employment with no luck. I committed myself to volunteering roles. 

Fast forward I sought employment but not within the HR field. I have also in the past year embarked on a MSc in Human Resource Management to boost my career aspects.

A recruitment consultant mentioned my 10yrs gap was an issue. This left me feeling rather deflated.

I have 8yrs HR experience (generic HR, E&D and Strategy), BA Hons HRM (2004) and a Chartered Member (2008).

What steps should I take? 

Any advice would be grateful appreciated, thank you.

  • Hi Christine, aside from the excellent guidance you're getting here from fellow Community members, I'd like to draw your attention to this free learning workshop for CIPD members.

    I think it may be of interest to you (and others) it's about using linkedin effectively - learn the effective approach to networking as well as how to expand your circle of contacts using LinkedIn. The session covers how to connect with others by using social media to market yourself and how to highlight your skills to help make the most of your job search.
