Is anyone else struggling to begin a career in HR?

Edward

Hello, 

I have recently graduated from university where I studied business management and HR management and achieved a 1st class degree, I am now currently studying my CPD level 5 diploma with DPG while volunteering as an HR admin (I have been volunteering for 3 months now).

My issue is that I have been constantly applying for minimum wage HR admin positions for some time now in order to 'get my foot in the door' within the HR sector, however I have had no luck with regards to this and haven't even been able to secure an interview.

Is anyone else experiencing anything similar? 

PS. I have also tailored my CV specifically for the job role but this hasn't had an impact.

  • I would consider looking for HR graduate schemes in your position - I know there are no where near as many as there once was, but it might be a good option. The Civil Service Fast Stream is one option. Most banks also have a HR scheme. Depends what industry you would like to look for.
