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.
Hello Ogochukwu, I completed my CIPD studies while I was on maternity. When I decided to return to work, I started to look for HR jobs. I also registered with two recruitment agencies, and I was lucky enough to get a HR job via them! It's worth trying every platform. Hope you'll secure a place very soon. Wish you all the best in your job search!
I hope you are well, I have completed my CIPD level-5 last year July 2020 but haven't got single interview call even having wide management experience at different level .I will appreciate if you can share with me reliable job consultants contact.
Hi Zsuzsanna - My only comment is in relation to feedback. As someone who interviews fairly frequently sometimes it is hard to give feedback. Often I have two candidates who are of equal ability but something minor swung the decision to the other candidate. It's just about who your competition is.
