Difficulty in getting my first HR job in the UK

Prior to moving to the UK in July 2019 to join my husband, I worked as an HR Assistant with the Marist Brothers of the Schools, Province of Nigeria. After I arrived UK, I research on career prospect for HR, that was how I knew of CIPD. With the advice I got from ICS Learn students' advisor and having a bachelor's degree and an experience in HR, I started my CIPD level 5 course in January 2020, and worked as a carer too. I have been job hunting since January 2021 and was able to secure only 2 interviews which weren't successful after the second round of the interviews, with no obvious reason for the rejection ( I always ask for feedback so I can improve in my job search). I am as well keeping an eye on voluntary work in HR, but haven't even seen any. Please I need advice and suggestions on how I can surmount this devastating stage in my career journey. I have completed my CIPD level 5 course now and upgraded to associate member of CIPD without a job.

  • Hi there,

    Sorry to hear about your struggles, I can fully empathise!

    I recently went on a job search workshop (free for CIPD members)
    There’s one tomorrow morning, you need to sign up to it
    This is the link https://lnkd.in/dNCChyjs

    Or go on CIPD LinkedIn and it’s advertised on there.

    There’s loads of helpful info on there and also other people who are in the same situation to chat to.

    All the best for your future
