I am currently looking for a new role in HR. I have a vast amount of experience of dealing with ER cases, recruitment, talent management, project roll outs and delivering workshops whilst working with key stakeholders to ensure the business needs are met. I have worked in the hospitality industry for 17 years where people and culture have been at the forefront of my role. In the last 10 years, I have been in an Operations Manager role, where most my time has been spent talent planning, recruiting, advising on employment law, dealing with disciplinary and grievance issues and providing leadership and driving operational excellence, whilst having full P&L responsibility and driving the key business objectives.
To further my career, i have put myself through the CIPD level 5 qualification in hope of making the move into a HR generalist / business partner / manager role. I have been applying for jobs through various agencies and online systems over the last few months, but have not even been asked to an interview. Any suggestions on how to get to speak to human beings as opposed to online applications and rejections would be appreciated? I thought my wealth of people management experience would be transferable into a role and would make up for the lack of the letters 'HR' in my job title, but this doesn't seem to be the case.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
