Can a CIPD level 3 qualification with no experience get me an HR job?

Ben

Hi All,

Am thinking about transitioning from a remote bookeeping role into HR as I want a more people-focused role.

I wondered how strong the CIPD 3 qualification is by itself...would it be enough to land me an interview for entry level HR roles without any direct HR/office experience?

Thanks for reading!

  • Hi Ben,

    I did exactly that.
    Just set your expectations right on what your first role in HR might be and that the salary might be low.
    As Jackie already mentioned if a role you had before had parts of HR make sure it's clear in your CV. I for example had quite solid experience in recruitment (mainly though assessment centers) and absence management and staffing. That definitely helped me get my first role in HR.
    So look at your CV and see if there are elements you can highlight to show experience in HR in other roles.
