Transitioning to a role in HR

Chris

Hello,

For the last 9 years, I have been working in mid-senior and senior leadership roles in the Education sector. I have always enjoyed the people management side of my work and have experience in administration for all aspects of the employee life cycle. I have just taken on a Level 7 CIPD to complement this. The Level 7 has confirmed my passion for the field and I am now looking to transition into HR. I have been applying for HR administration roles to give me a strong foundation in HR that I can build on. I feel that I could hit the ground running in most HR admin roles due to the breadth of my experience, but I haven’t been able to get an interview to show any employers this - I believe my CV is atypical. Does anyone have any advice for how I can improve my chances of getting an interview/any networking events anyone might recommend? Any other suggestions/anyone been through this?

Thanks!

  • Hi Chris. I've just been in a very similar situation (but with a level 5). I have a strong operational back ground but also 'did' the majority of HR in my last two jobs. I had to completely rework my CV to shout out the people side of my previous roles. I only started getting interviews when I stopped applying for admin roles and went in at a higher level.
