HR jobs and is CIPD worth it?

Justin

Hello everyone,

So I'm currently working towards my level 3, I have some basic HR knowledge as I did retail for a long time. I'm applying for jobs but the feedback is level 3 isn't high enough or I don't have enough experience.

I'm starting to get disheartened and feel like CIPD wasn't the way to go to get into HR. Is anyone else having the same sort of issues?

  • I found that most employers will ask for either CIPD qualifications or relevant experience. Since it is quite difficult to define a "relevant" experience if you don't know the CIPD's Profession Map, the CIPD qualification is the way to go. Saying that the best way is to secure the role and study the level you aim for. So, level 3 is sufficient for the administrator, however, if you aim to be an advisor you should be looking at level 5, etc.
