Hello Sarah
From experience I found that HR was a little difficult to get into and this was after I completed my degree in HR.

With a little research as to what Area within HR I wanted to go into, i eventually got there.

My advice:
look at the type of roles and organisations your applying to.
You maybe applying for roles that require specific experience that you may not have.

Try applying for HR entry level roles (HR Assistant or HR Administrator) and work your way up from there.
With the experience you already have under your belt I’m sure your potential employers will see that and hopefully progress you where you should be.

I would also suggest you complete the HR map if you have not already done so to highlight your strengths and weaknesses. Just so you know areas you need to work on.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Steve.

Thank you Vanessa. I would be more suited to a generalist role. I guess I will just keep tryimg and not give up. Thanks for your help.
