Hello,
I have been fortunate enough to be offered an interview for an entry level HR Administrator (currently self funding my CIPD L3 Foundation Certificate in People Practice). I do not currently work with a HR environment but have worked in cooperation with HR in some previous roles such as with recruiting, interviewing and onboarding. I have experience in administration too. I have been informed that the interview will last 90 min with a 45 minute "role related task". Any advice people could offer so I can prepare myself for this would be greatly appreciated!
Hi Claire Marie, thank you so much for your guidance. Yes, I am very proud and honoured to have even been shortlisted and it hasn't certainly given my confidence a boost. You were right about the in tray exercise, it consisted of prioritizing a set of tasks from some fictional emails and also drafting a job advertisement. I wasn't offered the position in the end, which didn't surprise me but I will keep up the momentum as they obviously saw qualities in me they liked. I have asked for feedback as you suggested, they did say they would provide it so I will keep you updated when that is received. Thanks once again.

Well done you Sophie! Really sorry to hear this wasn't the outcome you hoped for although utterly amazing you were shortlisted for interview, and all really useful experience. Keep at it tho', it's worth it in the end. :-)
