Hello everyone,
I have just taken voluntary redundancy from working in lower management in HE for the last 23-years. I have experience of some recruitment, interviewing, JDs, performance management etc and I am also a school Governor where I have chaired complaints hearings etc. I have really enjoyed the HR aspects and have been thinking of doing my L3. However I’m 52 and wondering whether you all think I’m too old to re-train and start a entry level HR role. I’m not interested in climbing the ladder and would be happy with a HR Administration role or Assistant role. What are your thoughts? Too old? Honest opinions please, I’m happy with honest, construct opinions.
Thank you!
Sarah
Why not? Sounds like you have good previous experience, there’s no harm in doing the qualification and applying for some posts. However, I did read in a CIPD magazine article today that the number of HR vacancies has shrunk over the past year or so… so it might not be easy to actually land a job, even ‘entry level’.
