Depressing- Unable to secure a job role in HR

I am writing with a heavy heart to share my current situation. I hold a BSc in Accounting from my home country and a Master's Degree in HRM from the UK. I am also an Associate Member of the CIPD. With three years of experience as an HR Generalist and an additional three years as a Compensation and Benefits Officer back home, I arrived in the UK in 2020 on a visa to establish a company branch, a task I've successfully accomplished.

 However, despite my qualifications, dedication, and relevant experience, I have been struggling to secure a position in HR for over a year now. This has been disheartening for someone who prides themselves on being a hard worker committed to excellence. I have tailored my applications to roles that align perfectly with my expertise and even ventured into volunteering for six months, all to no avail.

 I have sought professional assistance to enhance my CV, yet I have seen no improvement in my job search outcomes. I am reaching out to seek advice and guidance, as I am at a loss for what steps to take next.

 

Any advice or pointers you could provide would be immensely appreciated.

  • Hello Ouinloye. I’m sorry that you haven’t been unable to secure your desired role yet . Keep trying, applying for roles advertised by ERs who offer visa sponsorships or alternative routes ( e.g.) overseas working options for which you won’t need UK RtW. It’s a difficult market at the moment for HR professionals who want to progress ( from my own experience perspective) . Good Luck
