HR Newbie

Shana Kay

Hi All,

I just completed my level 7 and I am struggling (to say the least) to secure an HR position. I have applied for so many HR Admin/Advisor roles but haven't been shortlisted for any of them so far.

My background is in Resource/Workforce planning, so I know I have a lot of transferable skills, but I feel my CV is not up to part. I am just not too sure how to fix it. It also seems that every organisation is looking for someone who already has HR experience which I do not.

Any Advise? 

Thank you.

  • Hi Shana,

    We've all been there and I agree with Lorraine.

    Keep on trying as the right job will come, but in the meantime, try approaching companies and asking whether you could volunteer.

    They will get a keen employee interested in learning and you will get that experience which will then allow you to transition into a paid role. They might also offer you a position if things go well, you never know.

    LinkedIn is also a must, some of the jobs never land it to career portals and are filled within a few days as the responses from LinkedIn are good enough. Keep an eye out, connect with recruiters from your area. No better place for online networking than LinkedIn.

    Fingers crossed!

    Thank you Lukas.

    Very helpful. I have asked my company for assistance but not a lot of people are willing to help. The 1 person who was willing has left.

    I will have to think outside the box.
