As a bit of context, I’m in a HR Assistant role and signed up for Level 3. I’ve been struggling to study while balancing full time work, though I felt I was making slow and steady progress and the information I was reading was sinking in. Yet when it came to my first assessment, I failed. Feedback from tutor was that I wasn’t providing analytical and academic writing.
I feel like an idiot, though after thinking about things realistically, I’m not an academically minded person. I did a HNC in Business Admin at college but never progressed to university. I can take in the overview of a subject and i think I learn best by doing and repeating, but writing and presenting information in an analyst overall essay style has never been my forte.
I don’t know what to do now really. I feel like I’m stuck and won’t progress because I may not gain the entry level qualification, or any other one for that matter. Part of me feels like I should admit that HR isn’t right for me (I’ve been feeling increasingly anxious at work and overwhelmed anyways) but then I do find the subject matter and queries we get daily so interesting, and I feel like I do a good job at supporting the HR Advisers and staff. I just don’t want to be stuck at this level with no progression indefinitely and waste everyone’s time.
