Evening everyone,

I am currently studying for my CIPD L5 (almost finished the 2nd of 6 units, due to complete in December) 

In my current job role, I don't work within HR,  so I am using the qualification as a way of changing my career path later this year. However, just by looking at job specifications and different roles, I seem to fit a lot of the skills and behaviours, but my lack of experience within the HR sector is holding me back.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can give myself a better opportunity to apply for jobs when I don't have the experience, or is it a matter of trying to sell my interchangeable skills, along with the CIPD L5, University experience etc?

Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
