POV from fellow members

Sonali

Hi everyone

I really need your advise on how to proceed with my career aspirations. 

I have about more than 10 years of HR experience in India, then we moved to UK and I had to take a gap of 5 years due to maternity and childcare. During this period I tried alot for job opportunities but there was no luck. So after 5 years I did get a job in HR but as a baseline start role. That was surely a disappointment but I thought atleast there is something to start and parallelly I enrolled myself for level 5 CIPD. I really don't want to waste my past experience and start the whole journey from scratch. I have been trying to apply for jobs but there is no luck. 

Do you guys thinks its because my current resume says I am an HR administrator? or is it the gap? or is it no substantial experience in UK market? I am so disappointment as even the relevant work industry where I have spent 10 years of my career is also not valuing my experience. Sometimes I really feel it wasn't really worth moving to UK...

Please throw some light and guidance with your experience in UK market.

Much appreciated!!

Thanks

  • I agree with the advice from others, but would also mention gently that there were grammatical errors in your post here. That is in no way meant to be a criticism, but I wonder if it is having an impact? I appreciate that posting on a site like this and a job application are very different, and they may not be present in your job applications, but would certainly ensure that you get someone else to proof read anything you send, so that doesn't form part of any initial impression. 

    Otherwise, I wouldn't be dispirited at getting an entry level post - it's a good place to start and get used to the UK employment environment. I imagine that with your experience and skills from 10 years of experience in India, you should quickly progress. Can you talk this through with your line manager at appraisal, and see how they can support your career development?

    Good luck
