Hi
I currently have a nice but confusing (to me!) dilemma and was interested to hear people's opinions.
I have worked within a HR department in a company for the past few years. I recently applied for a Trainee HR job within the department which I did not get. However off the back of the interview I have been encouraged to apply for 2 further positions. One is a Transactional HR job and is at a higher level than I currently work, This is a temporary position and would include some management duties (I would be able to do this role on a Secondment basis). The second job is a Strategic HR planning role but is at the same level as I am currently but is a permanent position and I think in an area which would interest me more out of the two roles.
I am currently undertaking my CIPD Level 5, which I am thoroughly enjoying and feel both roles would benefit me with completing this. I feel both would give me an excellent experience and I am finding it hard to decide which route to take. I appreciate that I would have to apply for both positions and may not get either, but I was hoping to hear people's experiences and advice that could make that decision a bit more straightforward.
Thank you in advance.
