Just finished my masters in Human Resources Management and also got my CIPD level 7 and am excited for the new opportunities ahead. I have HR experiences from my home country and also working as a HR assistant here in the UK to get more integrated and understand Human Resources in the UK. It’s been 4months now and am looking forward to start applying for roles as a HRBP. Is there any advice I can get from the community to help in my journey. Thank you
Hi Vanessa! Congratulations on completing your masters! In your HR assistant role have you had any opportunities to get involved with any project type / strategic work? That would be a good starting foundation to get some experience alongside your HR assistant role. Do you work alongside a team where you have the opportunity to shadow i.e. working with a HRM / BP / Head of HR, where you can get some really good experience of the next level?
Also, have you joined any networking groups? HR Ninjas is a great one to join to ask questions and help others, as well as good for enhancing your own learnings.
Hi Vicky, thank you very much for your advice. I will ask to be placed in more projects as we are introducing a new HR system which I will be working with our people manager on this project.
