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 

Simon

  • Simon, I'm so glad some of the community have reached out and offered advice on your CV. The more advice and feedback you can get the better as everyone has a different view on things and it can help us all see our experience through other people's eyes.

    I would encourage you to not give up. It's a highly competitive market and entry level roles will be especially compeititve. I'm sadenned when I hear you've asked fo feedback and not been given it. If someone has asked for it, I'd always take time to give it and these days, with ATS tech it's even easier to give it.

    I'm sorry to criticise colleagues but there's no excuse for a no feedback culture. Even at initial stages you could give some comments to rejected candidates on what the selected candidates had to give them the edge.

    Clear experience and being explicit with your transferable skills is also important. At the end of the day though it is a question of time. If you keep putting in good quality applications, you will get a break at some point. It's the law of averages. Good luck.
