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

    Jackie's absolutely right that studying for your level 3 will show your interest and skills in HR to employers, but I think it's only fair to add that people do find getting into HR quite competitive and you may be competing for roles alongside people who already have experience working in HR, so anything else you can do to boost your chances is good too. Can you afford to take some fixed term roles or spare the time to volunteer? That may give you some good HR experience to go alongside your studies.

    Good luck
