Struggling to break into the HR industry

Hello HR community!

I posted earlier this year about struggling to break into the HR industry and unfortunately I am still struggling!

I have now completed my MSc HRM which has given me CIPD Level 7 membership. I have administrative experience in the education and finance sector.. However, I am still having no luck with HR roles. I am constantly told I am inexperienced. 

I have applied for various roles at various levels - HR administrator, HR generalist, HR coordinator, People coordinator, Diversity and Inclusion... no luck!

I have seen a few other posts similar to this one.. I thought I would add to the pile of 'struggling to break into the HR industry' to share my experiences with everyone and highlight that this is a common situation, even with the relevant qualifications. 

Any advice, guidance.. help?

Regards,

  • Hi All,

    Thank you for engaging with my post - I can't believe the time has flown by!

    I just wanted to update you on my journey.
    Exactly 1 month after this post, I was offered my first role in HR and I kept the momentum going.
    I am now qualified and have been able to get a vast amount of experience in HR from various roles, in various sectors.
    Perseverance and determination is what fueled my career into and within HR.

    If there is anyone who is finding it difficult to break into the HR industry and would like some advice/guidance, please do reach out.
