First HR role

Simon

Hello all

I was wondering whether somebody could help. I have made multiple applications for entry level HR roles but unfortunately have had nothing but rejections.

I have recently completed my foundation CIPD and have been working in employability giving careers advice, information and guidance. I have had high volumes of enrolment forms to complete to compliance and audit specifications whilst juggling business development activities and relationship building.

There must be something I am missing but I was wondering if somebody could shed some light on it.

Thank you for any support

Kind regards

  • Hi Simon
    When completing the application forms are you making sure that you have answered the question correctly and shown how you meet the essential criteria for each role? I only ask as its shocking the amount of application forms we receive were the candidate ignores the question asked and gives an irrelevant answer.
    If its HR admin roles, it might be the way you are wording your answer? Focus on the admin tasks you do.
    Good luck, it does take time. It took me almost a year to get my first HR post

    Hi Tracey,

    Thank you for your reply and your support. Most of the applications I have made are using a CV. Would I be able to send you a cleaned version over ? So you see whether there is something that I've missed or something wrong ?

    Kind regards

    Simon

    HI Simon
    You need to amend your CV for each application to make sure that you are clearly showing where and how you meet the set criteria they have stated for the role. Clearly list out your skills and training. Don't write pages and pages just be factual with what work / tasks you have done.

    Hi Simon
    I'm happy to look at your CV if that would help - have written hundreds and reviewed thousands :) You can DM on here think. Jackie
